Among them are the Islamic Department, Syariah Judicial Department, Miri Resident Office, Miri District Office, Welfare Department, Treasury Department, Public Works Department and Forest Department.
“The building is fully completed. We have also obtained the OP (Occupation Permit), meaning that all these government offices can start to move in.
“These departments will normally furnish the interior of their office before moving in,” he said when met by reporters here yesterday.
Prior to that, Misnu, on behalf of MIS, received the completed project from the contractor in-charge Riaplus Sdn Bhd, which was represented by its managing director Dato Ting Ong Hua.
