Review ferry ticket price hike to Pangkor, govt urged


IPOH: The government should review the increase in ferry ticket prices to Pulau Pangkor from Lumut Jetty and Marina Island Jetty which are deemed to be too drastic for a small island resort, says an industry player.

Pangkor Island Hotel and Resort Development Association chairman Mohd Zamzuri Suid said a study should be done to see if there were other ways without imposing too high a price increase as it was burdensome for middle-class tourists.
