A Selangor Forestry Department spokesman, in an SMS reply to The Star, said both hiking trails were involved in TNB’s project for the power management unit (PMU) Bentong-South to PMU Lenggeng alignment.
The spokesman said site preparation work was underway and Bukit Apek was located directly below the proposed TNB grid.
