100 TOURIST BOATS STOP OPERATION IN TERENGGAN DUE TO MONSOON

KUALA TERENGGANU (Malaysia), Nov 13 (Bernama) -- The operators of about 100
tourist boats in the Kuala Terengganu district have ceased activities since
early this month due to the monsoon season.

Redang Island resort operators association secretary, Lorenz Law, said the
boat service to Pulau Redang, Pulau Perhentian and other islands off Terengganu
had been temporary halted due to choppy sea waters and huge waves brought by the
monsoon.

The tourist boats would resume operation again in March next year, he told
Bernama here Saturday.

However, he said the tourist boat service to Pulau Kapas in Marang would not
be affected.

"Perhaps, it is because the island is near to the mainland," he added.

Kuala Terengganu, colloquially abbreviated as KT) is the largest city as
well as the state and royal capital of east coast Terengganu state in Peninsular
Malaysia.
