State Cooperative, Entrepreneur and Consumerism Committee chairman Datuk Shahiruddin Ab Moin said a local company has been appointed to study the project's human and environmental impact.

"The study not only covers the cost but also the environmental and economic impact as well as benefits to the local community," he told Bernama here today.

Shahiruddin, who is also Raub Umno division head, was commenting on the opposition's allegations that the cable car project would only destroy the environment.

He said the project is expected to boost tourism by attracting local and foreign tourists to the area which would create jobs as well as business opportunities.

He said Frasers Hill was becoming more popular lately following the upgrading of its infrastructure, lodging facilities and landscape costing millions of ringgit.
