Local residents have protested against a hike in the price of ferry tickets to Pulau Redang, the tourist island off the east coast of the Malay Peninsula. The New Straits Times reported that more than 1,000 residents took part in a demonstration, demanding a reversal of last month’s 25% hike in ferry ticket prices, to MYR25 (US$8.25), and the introduction of a MYR5 charge for every 10kg of goods carried.
