“For example if we want to send money to our child, let’s say about RM100, just the journey to Teriang is 30 minutes. “In the whole of Pelangai, there’s only one petrol station and ATM. Sometimes we have to buy fuel that is sold in water bottles. We live in the Kemasul area and both facilities are in Sungai Pelangai and about seven kilometres away from our home.

According to Universiti Teknologi Mara Institution of Malay Rulers Chair fellow Mujibu Abd Muis, the lack of facilities in Pelangai is particularly sad as it was represented by a former menteri besar of Pahang.
