Muhyiddin outlines Cameron Highlands recovery action plan

Deputy Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin has outlined the action plan to rehabilitate Cameron Highlands as the country's leading resort.

Muhyiddin, who is also the Flash Floods and Landslides Committee chairman in Cameron Highlands said the short and long term plans, included development project supervision, agricultural activities and illegal immigrant problem in the highlands.

"This effort is not only to conserve the environment but also to bring back the golden age of Cameron Highlands as a well-known resort and tourism centre with pristine surrounding and natural forest that is very attractive," he told reporters after chairing the Cameron Highlands Flash Floods and Landslides Committee special meeting here today.

To supervise development in Cameron Highlands, he said the Rural and Urban Planning Department was asked to review the Local Plan that was approved previously to enable it to be improved and adapted to the current times.

"For example for property development that is being submitted, the state government can consider or limit the area usage to be developed," he said.
