浮罗交怡未来或将增添新的旅游产品,有私人企业有意斥资2亿令吉,在浮罗交怡打造“浮罗交怡化妆品岛屿”(Langkawi Cosmetic Island),并透过旅游促进生物科技工业。

吉打州旅游及文物事务委员会主席拿督莫哈末拉威说,法国化妆品之谷(France Cosmetic Valley)名誉主席珍鲁安塞尔将成为该计划的顾问,给予本地私企咨询,在岛上展开该项计划。

他透露,珍鲁安塞尔也将在本月11日,到浮罗交怡进行考察。

莫哈末拉威昨晚出席浮罗交怡瑞吉酒店开幕仪式后,在记者会上如是指出。

他说,该计划的概念就如法国化妆品之谷和日本化妆品中心(JCC),估计耗资2亿令吉,包括购地费用,预测可以在5年内带来逾5亿令吉的收益。

将设立研发中心

他说,该计划是由大马科学工艺和革新部(MOSTI)和生物科技公司(BioTech corp)携手合作探讨,州政府已表示支持,目前正在等有关公司呈函州政府。

“被圈定的地点为浮罗交怡甘榜武吉马六甲等占600英亩的土地,除了用来载种热带香料植物等,也会设立研发中心、销售中心什至是美容产品学院。”

他指出,目前州内的原料供应不足。

他认为,浮罗交怡岛民乃至吉打州其他地区农民,都可以依据厂商的需求进行载种,以增加收入

他说,浮罗交怡化妆品岛也是首相纳吉提出为浮罗交怡创造更多高收入就业机会的其中一项计划,料可以提供5000至1万个高收入工作。

Premier getaway resort will put Langkawi Island on world map

Premier getaway resort will put Langkawi Island on world map, says PM

The opening of The St Regis Langkawi, a joint-venture project between the Government and private sector, is part of a bigger strategy to put Langkawi on the world map, said Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak.

He said more was still needed to be done to boost the island’s reputation among premier tourists.

“When we are able to bring upmarket tourists to Langkawi, we can generate more revenue and provide more high-paying jobs, especially for the locals.

“We will also get demand for handicrafts and local produce, and luxury car rentals, and others.

“There will be a lot of multiplier effects that can be obtained, including our wish that Langkawi’s connectivity with the world can be implemented.

“Currently, there is only one direct flight from Guangzhou to Langkawi.

“I hope this strategy will bring results in the coming years,” he told reporters after a tour around the hotel here yesterday.

Among those present to accompany Najib during the tour included Kedah Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Ahmad Bashah Md Hanipah and Rajawali Group chairman and chief executive officer Tan Sri Peter Sondakh.

The opening was graced by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong Tuanku Abdul Halim Mu’adzam Shah.

The resort, which is nestled on the jewel of Kedah’s southern tip, is owned by Integrated Nautical Resort Sdn Bhd, a joint-venture between Rajawali Group and the Finance Ministry.

“Langkawi also has a convention centre where international and regional-level conferences can be held. This is due to the facilities that we have brought to a higher level, based on the masterplan that I launched five years ago,” he added.

He said Sondakh was already an investor in Malaysia and had a good relationship with the Government.

“When he saw that Langkawi has the potential to develop a hotel like St Regis, as he is the owner of The St Regis Bali that is so famous, he said that he can build a hotel which is equally as great in Langkawi.

“So I accepted his suggestion and we had a discussion with the Ministry of Finance, and the result was that this project was completed in 19 months – a record where the private sector and the government venture into a project of international standard that can be successfully accomplished,” the Prime Minister said.

Langkawi Sunset 浮罗交宜夕阳


照顾游客安全‧交怡应设旅游警察组

吉总警长:照顾游客安全‧交怡应设旅游警察组

吉打州警方建议,在浮罗交怡特别设立“旅游警察组”(Unit Polis Pelancong),专责照顾到交怡岛旅游观光的游客安全。

吉州总警长拿督赞里说,有关建议的文书将于近期提呈到武吉阿曼警察总部寻求批准。

他相信,“旅游警察”的建议是符合时宜的,特别是交怡作为国际旅游城市的地位,每年都有数以百万的旅游到来。

赞里昨日(28日)在交怡警察训练中心,为警察基础训练课程结业礼主持闭幕后这样说,共有593名普通警员参加。

适时为游客提供援助

他说,作为旅游区,游客时常需要各种协助,而一旦有旅游警察,相信能够适时提供各种援助。

赞里与跟交怡警区主任仄卡查里警监讨论设立旅游警察一事,并相信有了旅游警察,会让游客对交怡治安更有信心。

与此同时,赞里说,目前共有3名吉打人,因在叙利亚参与哈里发国武装活动后丧命。
