State Public Works Committee chairman Zairil Khir Johari at the hallway of the CMs official residence.
When taking office as the fifth CM last year, Chow had said he planned to move into the bungalow, since his daily commute from his private residence in Balik Pulau was too taxing for his busy schedule. The repairs included eradication of a long-standing termite infestation problem. PWD engineers detected two termite colonies with two termite queens straddling close to the flagpole on the lawn next to the driveway.
Zairil said besides pest control, the entire plumbing and wiring system has been replaced, including ironmongery and wood work on the pre-war building. In a tour of the bungalow, granite stairs of the bungalow led to a large hallway with a wooden stairs immediately appearing on the right. Many fitments were yet to be installed. The parquet flooring and wooden stairs has been restored and shellacked.
The property has a built-up area of 8,000 sq ft, and includes a garage, outdoor dining extension, and workers’ quarters at the rear.
