Beautiful beach is now a large rubbish tip

Since you’re not respecting your own country, what respect do you expect those of us visiting your country to have of you?

I’M writing about the state of the beaches in Kota Kinabalu.
I’m a regular visitor to Sabah as my wife is from there and we come from Britain as often as we can to stay with her parents.
The beach at Tanjung Aru (pic), next to the airport, is always the place where our children want to come to first.
Arriving from the cold in Britain, we’ve had many happy days in the sun down there.
Unfortunately, we were very disappointed when we got there this week.
There has always been litter on the beach but this time it was utterly disgusting.
We had to pick our way over empty bottles, used razors, plastic bags and soiled nappies.
We seem to have travelled around the world to let our children play on a large rubbish tip; one with a nice view, but a rubbish tip all the same.
I’ve heard people blaming the settlements on the nearby Pulau Gaya for the mess, but I’d like to know why the local government isn’t dealing with it.
Why isn’t it employing a couple of people to pick up litter on the full length of the public beach so that all locals and foreign visitors who use it can enjoy themselves without having to make sure their children don’t stand on a used nappy?
I’d like to know how Sabah Tourism can seriously tell visitors that it is pioneering “eco-tourism” and then allow its beaches to be filled with old plastic razors?
Do you think we’re stupid? Or just that we’ll look the other way?
Why is there is a basic lack of care and attention to such a fantastic public amenity?
Malaysia is home to some of the most beautiful places on the planet. Tanjung Aru beach in KK is one of them.
There are millions of people in Britain who dream of being able to walk along a beach like it. And yet it’s allowed to become a rubbish tip.
It gives the impression of a country where the people in charge know the price of everything, but the value of nothing.
At least, that’s what I’ll be telling people when I get back to Britain.
Aren’t government ministers here a bit embarrassed about that?
I would like all politicians in KK to walk along Tanjung Aru beach this week and see the mess for themselves. And I’d like to ask them, since you’re not respecting your own country, what respect do you expect those of us visiting your country to have of you?
