Pahang weighs Cameron Highlands railway proposal

Pahang will check out that Cameron Highlands train idea if it makes sense. Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail said his government is ready to review a proposal for a railway line there, but nobody has sent an official plan yet. He stated they would consider it if it really helps the public and improves local infrastructure. He spoke after an event for the Pahang Makmur Initiative funding for religious sites. Recent rumors suggested a rail line connecting Tanah Rata, Brinchang, and Blue Valley to fix the area's brutal traffic.

At the same event, Wan Rosdy detailed the current state spending. He said they allocated nearly seven million ringgit this year for six hundred ninety-seven mosques and suraus used for Friday prayers across Pahang. Payments for the Central and East zones happened earlier. The West Pahang zone just got its share of over one point seven million for one hundred seventy-six locations. Next year's state budget continues the initiative with a bigger total funding pool across four aid clusters. The religious cluster alone will get almost eight million for nine programs, including direct grants to mosques and suraus, plus benefits for hajj pilgrims and funeral aid.

Wan Rosdy also thanked the utility company TNB for its corporate responsibility work. The company gave fifteen thousand ringgit to one hundred fifty students at a local primary school.
