WASHINGTON, April 27 — A man accused of targeting US administration officials at a Washington event has been arrested after allegedly opening fire, injuring a Secret Service agent.
KANGAR, June 17 — The Perlis state government has officially decided to permanently stop the café project inside Gua Cenderawasih (Cenderawasih Cave), Bukit Lagi, citing safety concerns and the need to preserve the site’s geotourism value.
Perlis Tourism, Arts and Culture, and Rural Development Committee chairman Abu Bakar Hamzah said the decision followed a site inspection and a Scientific Committee Meeting held on June 11, along with a series of discussions involving the Local Authority (PBT), the Minerals and Geoscience Department (JMG), university experts, and other relevant agencies.
“All structures built within the cave will be completely dismantled to safeguard visitors and preserve the cave’s geological significance. Any future development will only be allowed outside the cave area, and must obtain technical clearance and comply with the guidelines provided by the Kangar Municipal Council (MPK) and JMG,” he said at a press conference today.
Previously, on May 18, media reports revealed that JMG had not received any formal application from the café operator or the local authority for technical evaluation related to the cave project.
