Kampung Laos, located near the Borang PLTG, has good economic potential through farming and the use of peatlands. The Borang PLTG brings both opportunities and challenges for the community. It can help boost the local economy, support energy independence, and encourage the production of Laos (galangal) plant-based products. This study looks at how the development of Kampung Laos affects the local community and suggests creative, sustainable ways to strengthen the economy.
