No funny business in Johore: Comment

In the international tourism scene Mersing is a nonenity. Even for Malaysia it is still in the backwaters, more of an adjunct to get to Tioman. As it is tourism is seasonal, low during the monsoon months.The locals are happy with current situations because that is all they could handle in terms of investments, attitudes, infrastructure, affording ecosystem.

To transplant a super-mega tourism project at Mersing is akin to putting a blue arwana in a bowl. The whole belt if not the region around Mersing need to be developed in harmonious setting with the proposed project years beforehand. Failing this the mega project is doomed. Realising this the investors chicken out. It is better to fail now than many billions later.

It is good that the Sultan is putting his foot down in the corridors of power for the powers that be has insulted HH with a deafening silence to the scenic bridge

Rilekskan maata: Sawah padi di negara orang

Bersawah padi bukan hanya aktiviti ekonomi, makanan dan menfaatkan anugerah Allah (air, hujan, lembah, pergunungan, kudrat, jiwa luhur, teknologi ...)tetapi adalah budaya turun temurun mengingat dan mengikat sejarah. Negara ambil ringan maupun alpa keperluan beras untuk generasi akan datang dan dengan itu sejarah dan budaya.
