PUTRAJAYA (March 13): Putrajaya will be developed into an international recreational city apart from being known as the country’s administrative centre, said Federal Territories Minister Tan Sri Annuar Musa.
He said that the Federal Territories Ministry would have discussions with the private sector and the Putrajaya Corporation (PPj) to further develop Putrajaya for the next 25 years, so that more activities and business opportunities would be created for local traders and the community to generate income.
“I have asked PPj not only to make improvements to the existing tourist attractions but also to think of other attractions including innovative tourism products in order to attract more visitors to Putrajaya,” he told the media after a walkabout to Anjung Floria here, today.

Energy and Natural Resources Minister Datuk Dr Shamsul Anuar Nasarah said the campaign is meant to spread awareness to all Malaysians on the importance of preserving the country’s forest areas.
“This is also one of Malaysia s efforts to ensure that at least 50% of the country is covered by trees and forest areas, in line with the pledge we made at the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro.
“As of today, Malaysia has a forest cover of 55.3% and hopefully this can be maintained through this campaign, ” said Shamsul at the pre-launch event of the 100 Million Trees Planting Campaign 2021-2025 at his ministry here on Tuesday (Dec 22).
