Launching the project on October 28, 2009, SEDCO Chairman, Datuk Hj Mohd Arifin Mohd Arif said the development was another effort of SEDCO to spur economic activities in the district as well as to provide travelers and road users with a well-equipped R & R facility. Situated right by the roadside, the project will comprise multiple business lots, a surau, an administration office, a restroom and parking spaces.
