Thousands gathered welcomed the ruler at about 3.30pm. Many of them had camped out at the mall since early morning to be the first to apply for the affordable housing scheme today.
In fact, many potential house buyers had also mistakenly gathered at the venue yesterday, just to make sure they could apply for a house.
However, applications for the housing scheme will only be open at 5pm today. Online applications for the home will also go live at 5pm via www.yayasansultanibrahim.org.my.
