Taman Negara entrance fee going up

Taman Negara entrance fee going up after 70 years



The Taman Negara entrance fee has not been raised for 70 years, so come Jan 1, 2020, the state government will increase it from RM1 to RM10 for children aged below 12, RM30 for those aged 13 – 60 and RM15 for those above 61.

“The revision is part of initiatives to improve efficiency and reduce revenue leakage, aside from increasing income which will help the state become independent.

“Greater revenue will benefit the rakyat through aid and development projects,” said Pahang Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail, at a gathering of civil servants at Dewan Jubli Perak Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah today.

Pahang State Executive Council Members and State Secretary, Datuk Seri Dr Sallehuddin Ishak, were also present.

Wan Rosdy announced he was very pleased with the performance and achievements of Pahang’s civil servants who ultimately hold the success of a government in their hands.

He said that as an opposition state, Pahang must be capable of raising revenue and continuing its success in line with the motto of “Maju Terus Pahang”.

Becoming more attractive to foreign investors and conglomerates, improving arrears collection and introducing taxes that are not burdensome are some of the initiatives being introduced to increase revenue.

Janda Baik villagers say ecotourism project will harm their way of life

Janda Baik villagers say ecotourism project will harm their way of life



Villagers are protesting against future development in the area as it will erode cultural and traditional values as well as disrupt the people’s way of life.

For Laila Husin, 64, who has been living in Janda Baik since she was 5, any development in her village would be detrimental to the villagers’ quality of life.

“My house is located at the roadside and if the road-widening project continues, I’m afraid I will lose my house.

“Where are my future generation going to stay when they return to their kampung?

“I will never support the project,” she said at her home in Ja-lan Sungai Cemperoh here.

She said no amount of compensation would make her part with her land. “This land is worth my life,” she said, holding back her tears.

Laila said she would agree only if the project was to improve the village infrastructure and the villagers’ lives.

It was understood that the project under the Janda Baik Special Area Plan draft would consist of several plans, such as widening of road, expansion of four Janda Baik rivers, including Sungai Sum Sum, establishing e-hailing stations and recreational park, as well as building river dams and a low-rise housing development.

Villager Rosmina Kamarul Ariffin, 46, said no further development was necessary in the area as visitors wanted to experience an authentic village.

“They come here to escape the hustle and bustle of the city and experience real kampung living.

“What’s more important is for the authorities to fix the road and maintain the cleanliness of the rivers.”

Earlier, 35 Janda Baik villagers gathered at the Bentong Municipal Council where 1,544 Public Proposal and Objection forms were submitted to protest against the project.

There are 2,820 villagers in Janda Baik.

Hanifah Mohd Rabin, a representative of the protest, said the villagers were not consulted about the project.

“The authorities did not inform us about the matter and we only heard it from a few of the villagers here.

“We learnt that a meeting with the project consultant was held in October with representatives from the municipal council.”

He said the proposed international ecotourism attraction required approvals from the villagers and other parties before any work started.

“We urge the authorities to stop work on the project. We gave suggestions on ways to develop the village’s infrastructure but were ignored.

“We have no option but to fight the new development till the end.”

兴楼云冰国家公园

兴楼云冰国家公园 ENDAU ROMPIN NATIONAL PARK

兴楼云冰国家公园横跨彭亨及柔佛的交界处,佔地约870平方公哩,是马来西亚最新的自然保留区。这裡的生态旅游设施比较不够完善。兴楼云冰公园原先是专为生物学家及科学家充当研究用途的森林保留区。

这座未经开发的公园区域内,拥有濒临绝灭的苏门答腊犀牛、罕见的老虎、大象及貘等。此处的低地雨林是马来半岛硕果仅存的,其动植物皆非常独特。

兴楼云冰国家公园可以从云冰及TANJUNG GEMUK出发。

Air Terjun Chamang 情人瀑布

Air Terjun Chamang 情人瀑布


平时的Chamang瀑布的确很吸引,时常有三五成群的年轻人结伴来嬉水,也有不少家庭携老带幼到这里野餐。来这里坐下来,呼吸新鲜的空气,聆听自然的交响曲,让思绪静下来,投入大自然的怀抱。

情人瀑布距离文冬市区不远,大概七八公里左右。驾车就可以直达,根本无需费力地爬高爬低走进树林,就可轻松抵达瀑布,非常方便。



在雨天里,Chamang瀑布水势将变得非常急促,有时还会引发洪水。所以切忌雨天时在水里嬉戏,因为这里出名的原因是夺走过很多人命。和一般的瀑布一样,她的水說來就來,雨季还是不要玩水好。

保障生态旅游 文冬发展蓝图须重划

廖中莱:保障生态旅游 文冬发展蓝图须重划

交通部长拿督斯里廖中莱强调,配合东海岸铁道计划及中枢大道的推展,文冬发展大蓝图急须重新规划及拟定,确保生态旅游的既定目标不受影响。

他预测,上述两项交通枢纽的宏计完成后,将为受惠范围的文冬县带来重大发展,把东西海岸及大吉隆坡、森美兰和南马等地距离拉近,达到无隔阂衔接。

“正是发展所带来的地貌及生态改变,我已指示文冬市议会及县署进行汇报会,着手探讨保护绿色环境的工作,善用有限的绿色资源,持续通过生态旅游的形式来发展文冬。”

廖中莱也是文冬国会议员,他今早为启文上午校运动会主持开幕仪式后,向记者发表谈话。他也宣布拨款1万令吉予该校,作为活动经费。

早前,他也通过文冬区国会议员服务中心,组成一支19人的文冬生态旅游发展工作考察团向台湾取经,学习该国生态旅游的管理经验。

他说,继大马旅游及文化部认可文冬的生态旅游发展,文冬当地政府机关有必要及早规划好未来的发展,避免周边森林出现过度砍伐及开发的现象。

他说,中国湖南卫视不久后将到文冬拍摄记录片,把文冬的人文风景及故事剪接成短片,向大陆游客介绍及吸引他们前来体验文冬的生态旅游。
