RECREATIONAL activities are still allowed at the foothill of Cherok To’Kun Forest Reserve in Bukit Mertajam but the popular 3.6km hiking trail will be off limits to the public from now until Dec 12, 2023.

Penang environment committee chairman Phee Boon Poh said visitors could still carry out recreational activities there as “only hiking activity is disallowed due to slope rectification and stabilisation works being carried out.”
