How to write in an Objection to DBKK/KKCH for Tanjung Aru - via email or using the form, fax and mail
May 20, 2014 at 9:20am
THE DEADLINE IS 22nd May 2014, THURSDAY
After going to BDKK/KKCH we have received clarification that Objections can be sent via email, fax, letter or by paying for a RM1.00 form available at Bilik Mesyuarat II, 1st Floor DBKK.
The following text is an example to use but we hope most will use the email to send their objections as these are easier to track and prove that a large volume of people are unhappy with the changes for Tanjung Aru beach.
Finally, PLEASE BE POLITE. They is no point being rude as the people of DBKK/KKCH are working for the public. Thank you.
Written objection to be sent in via email
To: <draftkklp2020@dbkk.sabah.gov.my>; <msamuil@dbkk.sabah.gov.my>;

(We are asking that everyone include the email addresses above so that those who have the ability to change the course of what is happening understand how members of the public feel about this change of designation to HR = Hotel Resorts. We also ask that you include the Save Tanjung Aru Beach gmail address so we can also bring this up with these individuals when the time comes.)
Subject: Objection to HR designation for Tanjung Aru Beach areas
Sample text: I am writing to you as a concerned member of the public against the re-zoning of areas in Tanjung Aru beach as HR (Hotel Resorts) as well plans that include waterfront areas which indicate future reclamation of the sea.
The priority for this area should be for members of the PUBLIC FIRST and not tourism nor any other development. They should also be NO RECLAMATION of any water front areas.
This area is the last sandy beach in the vicinity of Kota Kinabalu City with historic Casuarina trees (pokok aru) that has made this a special place in the heart of all Sabahans and visitors from elsewhere. While we thank the Kota Kinabalu City Council (KKCH) for providing us with an upgraded Likas Bay area, we still need to preserve the Tanjung Aru beach area as an open space which will not be built up with high end tourism hotels and so forth.
When the Sutera Harbour Resort was being built, the then Minister of Tourism and Environmental Development promised all Sabahans that we would have a public park and a public beach. Of course this did not materialise as we have ended up with a Resort that caters to high end tourist.
We demand that the Kota Kinabalu City Council put the needs to the majority of the public who cannot afford membership at high end resorts or clubs first and preserve and prioritise the Tanjung Aru area for public. No to the Hotel & Resorts Zoning and no to any further reclamation unless to rectify erosion to maintain and preserve current beach.
Telling us we will have continued access to the beach after Hotels & Resorts are built is NOT sufficient justification to rezone the area as Hotel & Resorts. The whole area should be made into Open Space and Recreation Parks and so forth for members of the public for perpetuity.
By saving this space for the public, Sabah's leadership would be lauded nationally and also on the world stage as putting the needs and wants of average people instead of big business first.
I would also like to request for a further stakeholder consultation to be held before endorsement of this current draft plan.
Thank you.
