TALK of developing a light rapid transit (LRT) system in Langkawi has sparked interest as well as scepticism among the public, and revived discussions about the island’s tourism.
Langkawi Island, known for its duty-free status and popular beaches, is facing challenges such as declining visitor numbers, high food costs, and competition from southern Thailand islands such as Phuket.
