BENTONG: A slew of developments is in store for Bentong town in the co­ming year, including an outer ring road, a central spine road and perhaps soon, a direct railway link to Kuala Lumpur.

MP Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai is appealing to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak to consider Bentong as one of the stops in the East Coast Railway Line.
