RM30m for re-development of business centres in Cameron Highlands

A RM30 million allocation has been provided for re-development of business centres in Cameron Highlands to make them more orderly, said Natural Resources and Environment Minister Datuk Seri G. Palanivel. Palanivel, who is also the MP for Cameron Highlands, said they needed to be further upgraded to draw in more shoppers from the tourist crowd who throng the highlands resort. "The government will provide fully equipped modern stalls so that the operators will have a conducive environment to conduct their business. "Besides this, we will also provide washroom and parking facilities and other amenities for the comfort of tourists and the public," he told reporters after attending a thanksgiving function hosted by Jelai assemblyman Datuk Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail in Kampung Kuala Koyan here today. He said there were also plans to build some 600 new stalls up at the highlands in the new future. He added that the Federal Agricultural Marketing Authority had also built a collection centre in Brinchang town to enhance growth of the agrculture sector in Cameron Highlands.
