Iron ore: March 17 2011

Perak goes berak. Teluk Rubiah, a cosy, tranquil cove not far from Setiawan has numerous delipidated 2 storey wooden bungalows and unkept golf course.

Millions had been spent on the project. What when wrong with the investment with no returns? What I guess is that it was meant to be an exclusive project for holiday niche for the rich. The flattened site for their holiday homes is now full of lalang.

Destined for its exclusiveness for the elites Tlk Rubiah was not promoted for public use and thus little income. On the other hand the elites would only go there at their whims and fancy.

The guard told me that such an idyllic place has been leased to a Brazillian company for an iron/steel mill. Even if his statement was wrong, Teluk Rubiah has been wronged!
