NATURE lovers want the Penang National Park in Teluk Bahang to act immediately on the poorly maintained facilities on the hiking trail leading to Teluk Kampi beach.

Avid hiker Chee Chin Poh, 71, said he was baffled that the authorities could allow such unkempt conditions along the trail, which is a famous hiking spot for locals and tourists.
