The construction of a new settlement for nearly 1,200 Orang Asli villagers affected by the Nenggiri hydroelectric project is expected to be fully completed by March 2026, according to Gua Musang district chief Nik Raisnan Daud.

He said work on the resettlement area, which spans over 832 hectares and is located near the original settlement of the affected Orang Asli, has achieved almost 25 percent progress.
