Villagers of Kg Seberang Manong want ‘bot penambang’ service to continue

KUALA KANGSAR: After years of service, the bot penambang (passenger boat) ferrying residents across the Perak river is set to dock for the last time.

For some 300 villagers of Kam­pung Seberang Manong, it is a bittersweet moment to see their 20-year dream for the Manong bridge – which the Government announced on Friday – finally coming true.
