Pahang DAP deputy chairman J. Simmathri has called for more petrol stations to be set up in Cameron Highlands, reported Makkal Osai.
He said more stations were needed because many motorists had difficulty getting fuel at the popular tourist site.
“There is no petrol station in Camerons, while two petrol stations in Tanah Rata have been converted into parking and business areas,” he added.
Simmathri said the Government should consider giving approval for petrol stations in Blue Valley and Tanah Rata, which would not only benefit the locals, but also tourists who come in the thousands to the area.
> Tamil Nesan reported that officers from two police stations and the local government in Chennai, India, debated over who was responsible over the handling of the body of a man found hanged there.
The paper said the body of the 30-year-old man was hanging from a tree behind a hospital for eight hours as the officers argued over the jurisdiction of the area where the body was located.
As the news spread over the body’s discovery, crowds of people came to watch.
Later, police officers from the Flower Bazaar area took up the case and sent the body for a post-mortem.
They believe that the man had committed suicide.
