RANAU : It has been a hot topic among people in Ranau now that the Kinabalu Park, whole or part of it, and the popular Poring Hot Spring near here had its management 'transferred' or 'surrendered' from Malaysian authority to Singapore companies.
Now that many take this still as mere rumour, i would like the State Minister of Tourism and Environment, Masidi Manjun, who is also Keranaan assemblyman, to clarify immediately on the status of the two popular tourist attractions in Ranau.
Please be specific on your explanation which and which had been 'surrendered' by this UMNO-led state government to foreign companies. Many in Ranau are concerned with the rumour that authority had been surrendered from previous manager, Sutera Harbour to a Singapore company.
The Minister's clarification is all that is needed to quash such rumour which does not help Sabah at all. When was they transferred? How?
Or if not, why the constant rumour on Singapore control? Does it have something to do with Singapore controlling the current company or what? Please clarify.
I would also like the Minister to reveal how privatisation of the two tourism spots had contributed to the state economy before and after privatisation. I am sure the minister would be generous enough to share with us the data if they have nothing to hide from the people. - Sabahkini
hal ini kena diperjelaskan, pelancongan kita biarlah syarikat tempatan kendalikan.
ReplyDeleteMasidi Manjun needs to make an explanation why the management of Kinabalu Park and the Poring Hotspring have been transferred to this Singapore company?
ReplyDeleteMaybe this company have the relevant expertise to manage these natural attractions, that's why the government hand the management to them? It's possible.
ReplyDeleteBukankah Poring Hot Spring dikendalikan oleh Sabah Parks dan penginapan serta restoran dikendalikan oleh Sutera Sanctuary Lodges??
ReplyDeleteMungkin ada kaitan dengan syarikat dari Singapura tapi pengendalian tidak diberikan kepada syarikat di sana.
ReplyDeleteJangan berikan syarikat dari luar Sabah menguruskan taman kinabalu ini. Kerana ini akan menyukarkan bagi penduduk tempatan nanti.
ReplyDeleteTempat2 destinasi pelancongan di Sabah harus dikendali oleh Sabah bukan syarikat luar.
DeletePerkara ni harus dijelaskan, jangan mengelirukan rakyat Sabah.
ReplyDeleteMasidi said the accommodation and the facilities at the park have been privatised in 1999 and this fact has been publicised..
ReplyDeleteisu ini sebenarnya sudah lama dan telah diumumkan oleh kerajaan.. tapi pembangkang sengaja mengungkit hal ini untuk dijadikan bahan politik bagi menghadapi PRU13.. hanya accommodation dan facility saja ba yang kena privatised, itu pun bukannya menjadi hak milik singapura.. bagaimana pula dengan pelabur2 asing yang melabur di Malaysia?? adakah pelabur2 itu juga telah membeli Malaysia??
