KARAK: There will be more job opportunities for Karak and Bentong residents as Bentong develops to become a “lung-washing” tourist destination, said Bentong MP Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai.

“The development of ecotourism in Bentong is gaining momentum. More tourists will be here and this will create more jobs for people in Karak and Bentong,” he said at the Ceria Deepavali event in the Karak Hindu Devalaya Paripalana Sabah temple here.
