BUKIT BUNGA MOOTED AS ECONOMIC GROWTH CENTRE

JELI (Kelantan, Malaysia), July 4 (Bernama) -- The East Coast Economic Region Development Council (ECERDC) will conduct a study on the development of the Bukit Bunga area here as a new economic growth centre in east coast state of Kelantan.

Minister of International Trade and Industry Mustapa Mohamed said the six-month study encompassed all aspects such as infrastructural development of the area which is now well-known among tourists.

"Bukit Bunga has a very high potential to be developed more aggressively because it is situated at the border complete with immigration and customs facilities.

"The study will look into how to develop the area. ECERDC will also carry out a study on how the fish industry centre in Tok Bali can be further developed," he told reporters after launching the "Empower Jeli" programme at the Jeli district local council hall Sunday.
