TANGKAK (Johor, Malaysia), May 20 (Bernama) -- The district of Tangkak in Malaysia's southern state Johor, which is famous for ecotourism activities, can be turned into an international-standard tourism centre, said Johor Menteri Besar (Chief Minister) Onn Hafiz Ghazi. He said that Mount Ophir, which is more popularly known as Gunung Ledang, in the district was not only able to attract tourists but also generate income for residents nearby. "I am confident that tourism facilities will be able to provide economic returns for the people in the surrounding areas, especially during this period of endemic phase,” he said in a post on his Facebook page Thursday. He said several high-impact development projects would be implemented in the district soon, including upgrading the infrastructure at Gunung Ledang. -- BERNAMA
