BESUT, Feb 9 — The natural beauty of the peak of Bukit Keluang here must be maintained because of its potential as a recreational centre for tourists, said Besut MP Datuk Seri Idris Jusoh.
Idris, who is also Higher Education Minister, said the peak of Bukit Keluang is also a location to watch the beautiful sunrise panorama from a height of 85 metres above sea level.
He said Bukit Keluang, which is rich in flora and fauna, does not need any development and should be retained in its present state, which is preferred by climbers.
“The panorama from the top of Bukit Keluang is very beautiful and impressive. Promotions must be carried out by the authorities so that more people can come to feel and experience the climb for themselves,” he said.
He said this after climbing the hill with 800 climbers, comprising local and outside residents, in conjunction with 2016 Besut Bukit Keluang FIT Programme organised by the Besut Umno division here, today.
According to Idris, the peak of Bukit Keluang is now being visited almost every weekend by numerous quarters since it was opened to the public last year. — Bernama
