PETALING JAYA: Barisan Nasional’s Kemasik candidate Khairi Afiq Yusof says the country’s oldest Hainanese village in Kampung Air Jernih, Terengganu will be developed into an eco-tourism destination, should his coalition wrest the state from the opposition in the Aug 12 polls.
Khairi said the over 100-year-old village, in Kemaman, has the potential to become a tourist attraction and contribute to the local economy, Utusan Malaysia reported.
“The proposal to develop eco-tourism in this area was among the 10 suggestions presented by the Hainanese Chinese community in Air Jernih itself,” he was quoted as saying.
