As the largest national park in Malaysia, Taman Negara is a popular destination to visit. Estimated to be over 130 million years old, it is among the world’s oldest rainforests.

The park is spread across three states and contains within it some of the oldest land on peninsular Malaysia. As such, the park is home to a diverse range of geological formations, flora and fauna – many of them rare and endangered.

Top 17 Things To Do In Taman Negara, Pahang [2024]

Here are the best Taman Negara, Pahang activities. Read through and select the ones that fit your interests and timeframe.

Some of these activities you can do yourself and some require a tour.

There are travel agencies in Kuala Tahan, the town where you stay to access the park, or some hotels, like the Mutiara, that can book these tours for you.

However, the best way to visit Taman Negara is with a special package tour that includes all your meals, transport, accommodation and activities. This gives you the best value and the easiest experience. You can find our list of these here.

Before you do anything in Taman Negara, whether it’s a solo hike or a tour, you do need an entry permit.

Permits are just RM1 per person currently and last for the duration for your stay. It’s an extra RM5 per camera/smart phone you want to take in as well.

There is talk that this will increase dramatically soon. I find it surpising how cheap it is now. If the money is pumped into the park, this would be a good thing.

These need to be bought at the Park Centre which is in Mutiara Taman Negara Resort.

If you are short on time, the main things I recommend you do is get out on the water – primarily to Lata Berkoh. This way is just so beautiful and much prettier than the journey to an Orang Asli village – and go on a hike. Heading to the Canopy Walk and Bukit Teresek is a good way to tick this off.

You could do this in a day easily.

Take A Hike To Bukit Teresek

As it’s a national park, one of the best things to do in Taman Negara Malaysia is hiking. A particularly good hike is the trail to Bukit Teresek, where you can admire the surrounding forest and mountains. 

At 334 metres, Bukit Teresek is a modest hike and takes about 45 minutes to reach the summit from the park headquarters at Kuala Tehan. There is wooden boardwalk the whole way.

There are both flat and steep sections of the track. The first section is relatively flat and follows a boardwalk through the rainforest. It is an excellent area for bird watching with many species found here. The final section of the track becomes quite steep and follows a set of stairs. You will get very sweaty – bring plenty of water!

From the summit, you will have lovely views of the forest below. When the weather is clear, it’s also possible to see both Gunung Perlis, and Gunung Tahan – Peninsular Malaysia’s tallest mountain.

To get here, follow the signs for the Canopy Walk and keep going up when the Canopy Walk turns off to the right.

You can see more details about this trail in my full guide to the Canopy Walk here.

You do not need to do a tour to do this walk. It is quite straightforward. It is possible to do tours that visit here and the Canopy Walk if that’s what you would prefer though.

Go Rapid Shooting

One of the more unique activities to add to your Taman Negara itinerary is rapid shooting, where you jump into a wooden boat and shoot the rapids of the Tembling River.

Most people experience this Taman Negara activity on their way to an Orang Asli settlement. These thrilling boat rides involve high speed turns with crews aiming the boats straight into the rapids. There are seven sets of rapids down the Tembeling River.

Be prepared as you will be splashed by water from all directions! Dress appropriately. Life jackets are provided, but a waterproof bag for valuables (and a change of clothes) is recommended.

Enjoy A Night Jungle Walk

When it comes to Taman Negara what to do at night, one of the best options is a jungle walk. The jungle changes at night and is vastly different from the daytime, with strange and interesting sights and sounds.

Usually jungle night walks are done on tours where you can walk from here to Tahan Hide, where the salt lick attracts native animals. It’s not uncommon to see reindeers, boar and lizards.

You will also see a range of plants and insects more active at night. It’s advised to bring a torch so you can make the most of your jungle night walk.

Visit An Orang Asli Settlement

Taman Negara has two tribes that live in the mountains – the Batek tribe and Semokberi tribe. The Orang Asli, or native people, are distinct from the Malay population and meeting with them is one of the top Taman Negara things to do.

These nomadic tribes live simple, traditional lives, moving from place to place in search of food and resources depending on the season. They hunt food from the forest and live in huts of leaves and ratan.

However, these days about 70% of their food is bought with money they make from tourism.

These settlements live by their ancient traditions and have a strong community spirit and visiting them is both unique and fascinating. You’ll be introduced to some of their practices such as lighting a fire (difficult in the rainforest) and shooting a blowpipe – a traditional weapon the Orang Asli use for hunting.

They also showed us how they sand the wood and make their weapons using natural resources from the jungle.

To visit an Orang Asli settlement, you need to join a tour where a guide will introduce you to the settlement and help translate the local language into English and also help you do activities in the village.

Your tour will take a boat ride to the settlement. This can be combined with rapid shooting, as above, or you can take a less thrilling option.

Cruise To Lata Berkoh

An excellent option of the things to do at Taman Negara is cruise the Sungai Tahan River to Lata Berkoh. 

The main attraction of this cruise is the beautiful scenery and it’s honestly beyond stunning. I absolutely loved it and it was my favourite thing to do in Taman Negara. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU DO THIS TOUR!!

The water is also quite clear and you can see fish from the boat as well.

However, it’s not just sitting back and soaking it all in. You also get to stop and visit the Tualang Tree along the way and the Kelah Sanctuary (more information about these attractions below).

To actually get to the final part at Lata Berkoh, you need to hike for about 20 minutes. There’s no boardwalk here but the path is in good condition. We hiked it with a 6 year old without a problem.

At the end, you reach Lata Berkoh. Lata Berkoh is a stunning spot with its deep pools and cascade.

You can swim here which is what we planned to do. However, our guide did not come with us here and it was very unclear where it was safe to swim with plenty of rapids and fast running water. Upstream seemed safer but there were big rocks to climb over to get there.

With a 6 year old, I did not feel safe giving it a go. I would have loved to though!

After the hike back, the cruise takes you back to Kuala Tahan. It’s a great activity that takes 2-3 hours all up depending on how long you spend at the swimming place.

The water is shallow in a lot of places so you can only do this in a very flat boat that take up to four passengers. We had a man sitting at the front of ours (as well as the guide and driver at the back) to get us through some shallow sections.

Feed The Fish At Kelah Sanctuary

On the way to Lata Berkoh, you can stop at Kelah Sanctuary and feed the fish. This research and conservation centre is located in Lubuk Tenor and is only 20 minutes away from Kuala Tahan. You could also hire a boat to take you here specifically.

Pellets are provided so that you can throw food at the fish and watch them swarm to eat it up. The clear water makes seeing the kelah a delight and, in the dry season, schools of fish can be seen. 

However, sometimes there are no fish so this activity can’t be guaranteed.

Visit The Huge Tualang Tree

With a 130 million year history, there are bound to be some big trees in Taman Negara. Among the largest and tallest of all the trees in Taman Negara is Tualang Tree, and it is worth visiting. At a height of 65 metres, this tree is as tall as a 20 storey building. 

Stop at Tualang Jetty down the Tahan River to capture a picture of this enormous tree, although it’s hard to appreciate the full size from close up. Its size lends the area a special and ancient feeling.

Eat At A Taman Negara Floating Restaurant

With quite a few floating restaurants around, one of the things to do while in Taman Negara is eat at one of them!

You can find floating restaurants offering breakfast, lunch and dinner. Although I did find most shut at lunch time when I was there during Ramadan. Most floating restaurants are located at the jetty of Kuala Tahan where you can watch the Tembling River sweep past.

Options include the Taman Negara Floating Restaurant, Arissa Floating Restaurant and Kuala View Restaurant among others.

If you’re keen on fishing, Taman Negara can be an excellent spot. The dry months are best for fishing, and the deeper you head into the jungle, the better the fishing gets.

Popular fishing spots include Rincing and Kuala Perkai. Of course, bringing fishing gear into the jungle is difficult for tourists, and so there are tours you can do that include gear and transport to fishing spots.

There are many other fishing spots, some located up to 5 hours away by boat, but the pristine jungle setting makes fishing there one of the best things to do in Taman Negara Malaysia.

Take The Plunge At Four Steps Waterfall

If you’re up for a challenging hike, follow the track to the phenomenal Four Steps Waterfall. This hugely powerful waterfall can be reached by following the Gunung Tahan trail (which leads to the highest point on Peninsular Malaysia) and detouring to the Four Steps Waterfall. 

Rarer wildlife can be spotted on the way as you delve deeper into the jungle, and part of the journey takes you through the river. When you reach the waterfall, you’ll be rewarded with amazing views and the sound of the powerful falls. The waterfall can be fierce and swimming is definitely not advised.

This hike should only be done as part of a tour. It is notoriously difficult and best done by people with hiking experience.

This is a less explored track but one where you can be rewarded with a stunningly beautiful natural environment.

You can also take a boat tour here.

Go Bird Watching

With hundreds of species of birds in Taman Negara, both native and migratory, one of the top things to do Taman Negara National Park offers is bird watching.

Kuala Tahan, close to the park headquarters, is one of the best places to spot birds. You can stay in a hide and wait to spot birds or see them on a walk. It can often be easier to hear birds than see them, which makes the hides super useful for this purpose.

Many endangered species like the Masked Finfoot, the Wreathed Hornbill and the Large Green-Pigeon can be found in Taman Negara, and you may be lucky enough to spot one.

May through to August is the best time for bird watching.

Admire The Views On The Canopy Walkway

When you’re planning what to do in Taman Negara Malaysia, no Taman Negara to do list is complete without a walk on the Canopy Walkway. It is arguably the top attraction the national park offers.

The Canopy Walkway is a series of suspension bridges that was originally built for research, and whilst it wasn’t intended as a tourist attraction, it is now certainly one of the most popular things to do in Taman Negara. 

At around 550 metres long, the Canopy Walk is one of the world’s longest suspension bridges and is a great place to admire the views below, and surrounding the area.

Reaching it takes about 30 minutes by foot from the park headquarters on a boardwalk. The suspension bridge is up to 45 metres above the ground, and you’ll see the stunning rainforest below. There are birds and wildlife like the long-tailed macaques.

The walk is decent and there are quite a few stairs to reach the start of the walk. It can be a little confusing, but it is straightforward enough to do without a tour. It is closed on Fridays.

Enjoy A Night 4WD Safari

As an alternative to a night jungle walk, why not try a night 4WD safari? 

These 4WD safari tours save you from walking and allow you to penetrate deeper into the forest. They start at night from Kuala Tahan and take you to the best places to see wildlife. You are likely to see wildcat, wild boar and all the sights and sounds of the jungle at night.

Tours usually go for two hours and are affordable. 

Go Swimming At Lubok Simpon

The hike to Lubok Simpon is one of the easiest in Taman Negara and offers a great introduction to the national park.

From Kuala Tahan, it’s only a 1 kilometre walk to Lubok Simpon. You’ll see birds and walk along the river before reaching the natural tannin dyed pool at Lubok Simpon. 

This is not only a lovely spot to relax but also a nice spot to swim with a sandy beach area.

Explore The Limestone Caves

Taman Negara is an excellent spot to explore some caves, and the national park has its fair share of interesting limestone caves.

An easy walk from the park headquarters in Kuala Tahan is Gua Telinga. This cave is just 3 kilometres away and is known as the ear cave due to its unique shape. You need to crawl through an underground tunnel to enter, where bats inhabit the inside.

Deeper in the jungle are several other caves. These caves are usually visited as part of a multi-day tour where you can explore, hike the trail and spend the night inside a cave.

Gua Kepayang Kecil is one such option, as well as Kepayang Besar where people often camp overnight.

You need to take a tour to visit these caves.

Hide In A Wildlife Observation Hide

One of the reasons Taman Negara is great for seeing wildlife is the wildlife observation hides. Built like little huts, Malays refer to these hides as “bumbung” and they aid in observing animals without scaring them away.

Tahan Hide is just a short distance from the park headquarters and is an excellent spot to wait and see birds and other wildlife, especially at night, attracted by the nearby salt lick. 

Deer, porcupines and birds, wild boar and numerous insects can all be seen with patience. 

Head on a boat ride to another spot like Kumbang Hide. Located deeper into the jungle, this is a great area for spotting your sights on rarer animals. Rarer species like tapir, leopards and elephants can be seen in other hides located deeper in the jungle. 

Arrive By Boat From Kuala Tembeling

Kuala Tembeling is where both the Tembeling River and the Jelai River meet, and the jetty is about 17 kilometres away from the town of Jerantut. This town is a popular entry point to the national park, and if you’re entering from here, the way to go is by boat.

Both locals and foreigners enjoy this scenic boat ride to Taman Negara. It takes about three hours. The ferry is a simple wooden boat with a roof on top and whilst the trip is long, there’s no denying there are some wonderful views along the way.

Taman Negara Tours And Packages

Since it’s a little more complicated to get to Taman Negara and many activities require guides and equipment, it is recommended to do a tour to Taman Negara or a package tour over multiple days.

How To Get To Taman Negara

It’s easy to get to Taman Negara by bus, train or car. However you get here, note that you are aiming for Kuala Tahan which is the town next to the entry point of the park.

Once you get to Kuala Tahan, you need to take a quick boat trip across the river to access the park itself. Kuala Tahan is home to shops, restaurants and sleeping options.

If you have your own car, great! You are good to go. You can also hire a car to get you there by clicking here.

Otherwise, the fastest way is by private taxi. You can find out prices and book a taxi from anywhere in Malaysia here .

If you are coming from Kuala Lumpur, your next best option is by shuttle bus. You can book it here .

The cheapest way is by bus from Kuala Lumpur to Jerantut. This takes longer and you’ll still need to get a taxi the final hour to Kuala Tahan. Click here for the latest timetables and bus prices.

The last time I took the taxi between Jerantut and Kuala Tahan, the price was RM80.

To get into the park itself, you simply go to the jetty and hop on the next boat departing. These cost RM1 per person and only take minutes. They depart frequently.

Finally, if you are short on time or want things organised for you, read our full guide to Taman Negara tours here . It’s possible to visit Taman Negara on a day tour from Kuala Lumpur and all the options are listed there as well as some multi-night package options.

Taman Negara With Kids

For the most part, Taman Negara is very kid friendly. You may just want to avoid rapid shooting or the other longer hikes if your kids are young.

There are many walks from the Park Centre that take around an hour return, such as the canopy walkway and the hike to Lubok Simpon. Plus, the experience at an Orang Asli settlement can be very eye opening for kids and adults alike. My kids loved trying the blow dart!

A night jungle walk and observing animals from an observation hide are also great activities for families. I found the cruise to Lata Berkoh worked well too.

Final Words

I hope this Taman Negara guide has given you plenty of ideas for your visit.

Taman Negara really does have a lot to offer visitors while still being easily accessible to Kuala Lumpur. In a couple of days, you can do a lot and experience this very different side to Malaysia.

Pahang offers a diverse range of tourism attractions, from urban and coastal tourism, to ecotourism, island tourism and arts, culture and heritage tourism.

The newly completed Kuantan 188 tower, in the heart of Kuantan Waterfront, is the latest landmark in the State. The tower is part of a series of projects to enhance the Kuantan Waterfront, a premium asset that needs to be preserved and optimised as the pride of the local population.

The design concept of the tower, with its upright and tapered profile, is inspired by the shape of the traditional Malay spear tips, as found on the Pahang State Coat of Arms. The design of the tower’s viewing deck is inspired by the flowers and leaves of the White Teruntum plant.

Kuantan 188 is the tallest tower in the East Coast and second tallest tower in Malaysia after KL Tower. From the viewing deck 92 metres above ground, visitors can appreciate the grand vistas of the surrounding land and cityscape.

Whilst Temerloh is famous for its tempoyak ikan patin dish, the Temerloh Titik Tengah Semenanjung monument marks its significance as “The Centre of Peninsular Malaysia”. Surrounded by serene gardens and fronting a small lake, the monument also provides an additional photo-worthy pitstop for visitors to Pahang while enjoying an outing in a tranquil environment.

The National Elephant Conservation Center (NECC) houses several elephants trained and used for the evacuation of wild elephants from encroached areas throughout Peninsular Malaysia. The center also cares for baby elephants left by the group, in order to ensure the survivability of these baby elephants.

Among the programmes and activities available here are elephant-watching as well as watching a documentary on the rescuing process of wild elephants and their transfer to a new habitat as well as bathing activities with baby elephants.

Visitors can also hire a Nature Tourist Guide to explore the designated trail while observing elephants in their natural habitat as well as other interesting flora and fauna in tropical rainforests.

Taman Negeri Rompin is a main component of ECERDC’s ‘Rainforest to Reef’ (R2R) ecotourism development concept. It is one of the oldest rainforests in the world with unique geological features dating back over 200 million years old. The rainforest has been identified as a biodiversity hub and an international ecotourism destination. The Rainforest Discovery Centre will not only give focus to the state park but also to the biodiversity of the surrounding Region.

The development at Taman Negeri Rompin is in line with ECERDC’s R2R concept, which seamlessly links and packages all tourism products, assets and development. This concept ranges from the state park to the sandy beach of Pantai Hiburan, through Tanjong Gemok to the pristine paradise of Tioman Island. This is to ensure that ecotourism in Pahang will continue to be developed in a sustainable manner to increase tourist arrivals as well as improve the livelihood of the rakyat in the Region.

Tasik Chini, the second largest natural freshwater lake and the first UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in Malaysia, offers tourists vast natural attractions as well as a chance to experience the authentic Orang Asli lifestyle in the surrounding villages.

Tasik Chini is also steeped in local folklore and legend as a mystical place where an ancient empire is believed to be submerged, guarded by a legendary monster. Legends aside, Tasik Chini is blessed with diverse natural bounty that is rich in biological resources, such as lotus flowers across the lake, which transformed it into a vibrant floating garden during certain periods of the year.

Pekan is also a key heritage tourism destination, with historic attractions such as the Sultan Abu Bakar Museum and Sultan Abdullah Mosque Museum that have been refurbished by ECERDC. These refurbished historical attractions are some of the key tourism assets that have drawn visitors to Pekan, reinvigorating interests in arts, culture and heritage tourism.

Formerly known as the Taman Negeri Endau Rompin (TNER), Rompin State Park keeps the valuable secret of flourishing nature, awaiting to be discovered by enthusiast explorers. It is part of the Endau-Rompin forest reserve that includes both Pahang and Johor where there other part is Taman Negara Endau Rompin (Johor) and managed by Johor National Park Corporation.

Rompin State Park is the only state park in Pahang which is also the second largest park in the state after Taman Negara. Taman Negara is Malaysia’s largest national park and comprises the states of Kelantan and Terengganu. Both the Rompin state park and National park are nestled in the deep tropical rainforest where it will make their visitors captivated with its natural beauty.

The past studies, research and scientific expedition of Endau-Rompin, have discovered that the state park is home to many unique and rare species of plants, mammals, birds and herpetofauna. It was once home to the Sumatran rhinos which was believed to be extinct in the wild and nowadays, Malayan Tiger, Asian Elephant, Clouded Leopard, Binturong, Leopard and Malayan Sunbear call Rompin State Park as home and without doubt are very important in the ecosystem and must be protected at all cost.

In terms of plant species, the Endau-Rompin forest type consists of Lowland forest, hill forest, sub-montane forest, tropical heath forest. Some part of Rompin State Park which is Padang Tujuh area has been classified as the High Conservation Value Forest (HCVF) type 3 where it is considered a rare, threatened or endangered ecosystem. This is due to the existence of heath forest that is hard to find because of its ecosystem biodiversity and unique landscape.

Malaysia is listed as among the 12 mega-biodiversity countries in the world. It is richly blessed with flourishing biodiversity of flora and fauna that call it home. Some species are endemic and found nowhere else in the world.

The major forest complexes in Peninsular Malaysia are divided into four parts of Central Forest Spine (CFS) which are Banjaran Titiwangsa-Banjaran Timur, South East Pahang, Chini and Bera Wetlands also Endau Rompin Park- Kluang Wildlife Reserves. The term Central Forest Spine is used to describe the sensitive forest complexes in Malaysia Peninsular due to its importance and cruciality not only for wildlife but also humans.

Endau-Rompin park includes both Pahang and Johor state where it is the only large forest reserve remaining in the south of peninsular Malaysia. It is rich with biodiversity, geology, myth and culture of indigeneous people or Orang Asal (OA) that live in the forest.

The type of forest at Endau-Rompin is Lowland forest, hill forest, sub-montane forest and tropical heath forest. Each of the forest types combined have formed an ecosystem which the species evolved is high in value. For example, the tropical heath forest at Endau-Rompin State Park (Padang Tujuh area) is located at an elevation of less than 1000 metre which is scarce and infrequent to be found. The plant vegetations are also unique cause not only the plant diameter is small but the vegetation is also like a bonsai which is believed to be influenced by the factor of soil acidity. Usually, the kind of bonsai vegetation is found at higher elevation such as Gunung Tahan. Plenty of pitcher plant, wild orchid and endemic palm species Livistona Endauensis are found here too.Thus, Padang Tujuh has been classified as a type 3 High Conservation Value Forest (HCVF) due to the existence of heath forest which is hard to find considering its ecosystem biodiversity and unique landscape.

Besides the uniqueness of the plant species, Endau-Rompin is also classified as an Important Bird Area (IBA). There are 55 sites that were chosen as IBA in Malaysia. Malaysia’s IBA program is coordinated by Malaysia Nature Society (MNS) as part of the effort to promote the conservation of birds and biodiversity in Malaysia. The states of Sarawak, Sabah, Pahang and Perak have the highest number of IBAs in Malaysia. Large numbers of bird species are dependent upon this delicate habitat. Jambu Fruit Dove (Ramphiculus Jambu), Scarlet-rumped Trogon (Harpactes duvaucelii), Great Hornbill (buceros bicornis) and Lesser Fish Eagle (Haliaeetus humilis) are among the Near Threatened bird found in Endau-Rompin which need to be protected.

In terms of geological rock formation, there are three major rock types which dominated the area of Endau-Rompin. These are volcanics, igneous intrusion and sedimentary sequences that include granite, rhyolite, tuff,sandstone, shale and mudstone . The age of the rock at Endau-Rompin is estimated to be around 248 million years old which is Permian-Carboniferous age. Water flowing at the ledge of rock formations have formed a beautiful waterfall such as Seri Mahkota Waterfall, where visitors can see that the layer of rocks bedding looks like the layer of cake.

Pahang’s street art conveys compelling stories of its people, its arts and folklore.

A tribute to the unsung heroes of our daily lives, some of the town’s street art features its people. These are the people who go about their daily work in a quiet and unassuming way yet make an impact with their small but significant roles.

This full-sized mural in Kuantan depicts Zainudin Rashid or Pak Din, a cobbler. Pak Din has been mending shoes along the  ve-foot walkway in Jalan Mahkota since the 80s. Friendly and courteous, Pak Din is a household name in Kuantan. He has also carved out a niche for himself as one of Kuantan’s few certi ed trainers in shoe repairing services. For the young and old, Pak Din is the right man for the job when their shoes need a new lease of life! Visitors to Kuantan can still find Pak Din occupying a spot beside the mural, mending his customers’ shoes.

With 20 albums and 70 songs to his name, Dato’ Sudirman received numerous accolades and has performed in Hawaii, Melbourne, Tokyo, Dubai and London.

THE Muslim-friendly tourism industry will be a focus of the Pahang government this year, says state unity, tourism and culture committee chairman Leong Yu Man.

She said the industry was growing globally with an estimated market value of around US$194bil (RM915.49bil) and this was expected to reach US$300bil (RM1,415.70bil) by 2026.

“Pahang has significant potential to excel in Muslim-friendly tourism and the commitment is demonstrated through the provision of facilities and services tailored to the needs of this specific segment.

“This is complemented by the uniqueness of our culture, heritage, history, architectural art and beauty of natural landscapes.

“Pahang has over 5,000 halal restaurants and eateries, providing a diverse range of local dishes.

“The state government maintains consistent collaboration with halal certification bodies to guarantee adherence to halal standards,” Leong said, as reported by Bernama.

She was speaking after a familiarisation tour at The Bentong Farm, Bentong for 36 imam from 14 regions of China.

Leong said China was a key focus for the state government’s efforts in promoting Muslim-friendly tourism.

This is due to China being consistently ranked among the top countries in terms of tourist arrivals to Malaysia, coupled with its substantial Muslim population.

Initiatives to promote Muslim-friendly tourism in China have been underway since last year through Pahang Tourism, which included a work visit by the agency to Guilin, China, last October.

There, the Halal Culture Tour to Pahang was officially introduced, featuring tourism packages during Ramadan.

The imam group is expected to promote Pahang to their respective communities and the state is hoping to attract Muslim visitors during the month of Ramadan in March.

“Among the unique experiences is the communal breaking of fast at Padang Majlis Bandaraya Kuantan 4, which will Theallow them to explore the nearby Ramadan bazaar before the tarawih prayer at Masjid Negeri Sultan Ahmad Shah 1.

“As for culinary delights, Pahang is renowned among Chinese tourists for Musang King, the finest durian variety originating from this state,” Leong said.

KUANTAN, 8 April (Bernama) -- Kerajaan Pahang akan membiayai kos rawatan penjawat awam dan pesara perkhidmatan awam negeri itu di Sultan Ahmad Shah Medical Centre, Universiti Islam Antarabangsa Malaysia (SASMEC@IIUM) di sini, bermula bulan ini.

Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail berkata keputusan yang dibuat mesyuarat Majlis Mesyuarat Kerajaan Pahang pada 3 April lepas itu adalah inisiatif secara berterusan kerajaan negeri dalam memastikan kebajikan penjawat awam dijaga.

Beliau berkata pembiayaan kos rawatan itu meliputi penanggungan 30 peratus bil rawatan perubatan dan penanggungan 100 peratus bil rawatan ubat khas, ubat non-formulary (NF) dan implan.

Menurutnya langkah itu secara langsung dapat mengurangkan kesesakan yang berlaku di hospital dan juga klinik-klinik kerajaan.

“Saya mengharapkan menerusi pembiayaan ini, penjawat awam dan pesara perkhidmatan awam negeri dapat menggunakan perkhidmatan rawatan kesihatan di SASMEC@IIUM dengan sebaik-baiknya,” katanya dalam satu kenyataan hari ini. 

Dalam pada itu, Wan Rosdy berkata pembiayaan kos rawatan bagi petugas pihak berkuasa tempatan (PBT) dan pihak berkuasa berkanun (PBB) yang turut meliputi penanggungan 30 peratus bil rawatan perubatan dan penanggungan 100 peratus bil rawatan ubat khas, NF dan implan ditanggung agensi masing-masing.
