PETALING JAYA:

 The Pahang government is ready to study a proposal for a railway line in Cameron Highlands if the project has a major impact on the people and the development of infrastructure in the area.

Menteri besar Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail said he has yet to receive an official proposal for the project, despite a reported suggestion for a railway line in Cameron Highlands connecting Tanah Rata, Brinchang and Blue Valley.

“If it can provide convenience (to the public) and improve the infrastructure there, we will consider it,” he told reporters after an event in Lipis today, Bernama reported.

The proposed project is said to be able to overcome the critical road congestion problem in the leading tourist destination. - FMT
