Business as usual in Tanjung Piai

Business as usual in Tanjung Piai

Only damaged section of boardwalk in Taman Negara Johor Tanjung Piai is closed for repairs

Part of a boardwalk stretching about 100 metres in Taman Negara Johor Tanjung Piai, here, is closed to the public after it was damaged by strong waves on Thursday.

Johor Taman Negara president Suhairi Hashim said the park, however, would continue to operate as usual.

Suhairi said based on the report received, the tide had risen to 3.5m high and the boards had been ripped off the supporting structure by the waves.

"We will attend to the repairs immediately," he said, adding that only part of the boardwalk was damaged.

The entire boardwalk stretches over 500 metres. The RM300,000 boardwalk was officially opened in July 2011.
