SHAH ALAM, AUG 14: Sekinchan continues to be a popular tourist destination in Selangor with over 10,000 visitors a month recorded.

Sekinchan Assemblyman Ng Suee Lim said that the number can increase to up to 20,000 during peak season, including school holidays.

“This indirectly generates the local economy and benefits citizens.

“For example, single mothers and housewives with no previous income can now generate up to RM1,500 a month by selling goodies and crackers,” he said to SelangorKini.

Last August 12, Ng was visited by Public Transport Exco Datuk Teng Chang Khim to identify biking paths around Sekinchan.

He said the bike path, which will be launched next year, would be able to attract more tourists.

"Thanks to the State Government that continues to develop Selangor, including Sekinchan, although it is located outside the city.

"I welcome this latest effort. It is not only good for the progress of 'eco-tourism', but also promotes a healthy lifestyle," he said.
