Highway to growth in the east coast

BEFORE the East Coast Highway (LPT) was opened to traffic on Aug 1, 2004, the journey from Kuala Lumpur to Kuantan on the federal road could take up to five hours. 

However, the 169km LPT from Karak to Kuantan has cut down the travelling time by half not only to Kuantan but also to other areas in the east coast.
