SEGAMAT: After a 10-year wait the quarters of the Segamat District police headquarters is finally ready.

The first batch of occupants will move into the quarters at Km3, Jalan Segamat-Muar, here, next month. Work on the RM17.7 million quarters began about 10 years ago but technical problems led to the contractor being issued a stop-work order.

Segamat Public Works Department engineer Azizan Dahari said work on the quarters resumed in September 2009. The key to the quarters were officially handed over to Segamat police chief Deputy Superintendent Anuar Ismail recently.

There are 196 three-bedroom units for rank and file officers, 12 units of semi-detached houses for officers and two bungalows for the district chief and his deputy.

Anuar said the well-equipped homes were located near amenities and facilities such as a school, which would add value to the policemen's lives.
