Hotel operators in Batang Kali, workers in Genting Highlands worry over road closure


BATANG KALI: The one-year closure of the B66 Batang Kali-Genting Highlands road following the landslide tragedy at the Father’s Organic Farm has caused concern and anxiety among many parties, especially traders and hoteliers in Batang Kali, apart from those who commute daily using the road to their workplaces in Genting Highlands.

Batang Kali, a town located in Hulu Selangor and close to the junction leading to the country's main resort, is described by the locals as a 'RnR town' as it serves as a transit place for travelers to stop for their meal or to stay temporarily before continuing their journey to the northern states, or to Terengganu or Kelantan via Genting Highlands.
