PEKAN: Tasik Chini, Malaysia’s second-largest freshwater lake here, is likely to be gazetted as a state park and forest reserve to make it a recreational destination of choice for both local and foreign tourists.

Pahang tourism, culture, environment, plantations and commodities committee chairman Datuk Seri Mohd Sharkar Shamsudin said therefore, the state government would stop all mining and logging activities around Tasik Chini to enable the rehabilitation process to take place.
