2. The development include construction of hotels, chalets, theme park, orchid garden and fruit orchards.
3. It will be urned to shopping paradise, catering for both the high end holiday makers and sho-string travelers.
The duty free-free complex, shop houses and condominium will be constructed in the next 2 years.
Even before the work starts, there are voice of concerns, an environmentalists, Dr Azman wants the state to carry out a study on the impacts.
