Today state government announced that they are going to turn the jewel of Terengganu into a luxury island with only 5 stars hotel been allowed to built there.
What say u?
To me there is good and bad things
Good:
1. Less people will be going in and this will protect the ecosystem and the coral habitate
2. Generate a handsome sum of revenue to the state and country
3. Project a luxury image of the island
Bad:
1. Less people will be able to enter into the island. Redang have been famous spot for student and youngster which come from low income or high sensetivity group. By projecting a hotel rate above RM 1,600, the amount of youngster and local flocking into the island will reduce tremandously
2. Doing Rich person business is not as good as what we think off. Currently there is many rules and regulation in marine park and within the island. If we were suppose to provide 5 stars services, then customer will always right. What if customer choose to use sunblock, hairgel that can kills the coral or feeding fishes around the marine park? Even if they against the rules, they can pay the fine....But it was the ecosystem that get threaten.
3. Local chalet protrait image of island living. If we are to built 5 stars hotel, the land usage and change in ecosystem around the island might be affected. How about the current chalet operator? Bungkus and tutup kedai?
4. What is the main reason to go island? Soak in salt water, sun tan, building sand castle, play kite and snoorkeling is the main point....So why we need a 5 stars hotel with pools (since beach is in front of our eye) and gyms?
There is no wrong or bad about the idea....but to me, the island is such a waste if it was 'reserve' for the Richie....
Why not enforce the current chalet to help up in the environment and ask them upgrade their sanitary system?
Why not enforce stringen rules at marine park?
To be, environment should be protected and care by anyone, and thus everyone shall enjoy it....
