  • Khalid Abdul Majid Maruf is currently undertaking a project to completely reconstruct the old family home. When I visited Furus in January 2008, demolition works were under way. The project promises to uplift the area even more and will provide a beautiful home for Khalid, his wife and children as well as his dear mother. Can't wait to see the completed home!
