Promoting Hang Tuah trail

MALACCA: The state government intends to make Hang Tuah's 500km trail from Malacca to Pahang via Sungai Muar (Johor) to Sungai Pahang as a new state tourism product.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Idris Haron (pix) said at the moment, efforts towards realising the tourism product were still at the research phase involving a group of researchers, headed by the Historical and Patriotism Studies Institute (Iksep).
"We will do our best to realise this effort; however, it also requires the support of the relevant authorities, and not just from non-governmental organisations," he told reporters here today.
Earlier, Idris attended the state government's monthly gathering organised by the Malacca branch of the National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) in Ayer Keroh here.
In the meantime, Idris asked PTPTN borrowers who had started working to repay their loans to ensure others could benefit from it. – Bernama
