Good News! The Sabah state cabinet has decided to scrap the RM4.5 milion project
on the Sipadan Island which caused damages to the surrounding environment,
especially the coral reefs. The authorithy concerned claims that this amount was
planned to provide the barest minimum of facility for divers. If that was true
the planned wash-room will be most expensive one in the whole world. Imagine, a
RM4.5 millions wash-room! Guess it will be costlier than purchasing a few
decompression chambers. The authorithy should understand that tourists are
attracted here by our natural senery, unique multi-racial cultures and the
variety of local exotic cuisines, not by man-made posh hotels and facilities.
Definitely we are in no position to compete with reputable hoteliers in other
parts of the world in offering high quality hotels services and facilities. We
should know our limitations as well as strong points, stop wasting money on
building expensive hotels and resorts, use the money wisely to improve and
protect our nature and environment, in turns attract more visitors who bring in
revenues to us.
