KOTA
KINABALU: The Sabah United Chinese Chambers of Commerce (SUCCC) has
expressed its full support towards the Tanjung Aru Eco Development
(TAED) revival project as it can attract more foreign investments and
tourists into Sabah.
SUCCC president Datuk Seri Panglima Gan Sau Wah said the TAED would also create an iconic destination for people in the Greater Kota Kinabalu to enjoy.
“The price of property and land will also appreciate after this project is implemented,” Gan said yesterday.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Musa Haji Aman released a statement on the masterplan of the TAED revival project on Sunday, saying that the Tanjung Aru Beach and Prince Philip Park are not and will never be for sale.
Under the revival project, Musa said the Tanjung Aru Beach would be widened by four to five times to at least 50 metres at high tide from nine metres currently.
In addition, the Prince Philip Park will be more than double in size from 5.86 hectares now, as well as extending a new public promenade by more than a kilometer for recreation. The park will be further enhanced with its rainforest theme and the amenities.
Gan said Kota Kinabalu is an important city in the Asean region.
“If this project takes off, it will enhance the image of Sabah in the region, elevate the people’s standard of living and create more job opportunities,” he said.
Gan said the people should realize that this project would bring immense benefits not only to them, but for the future generations as well.
“This revival plan proves that Musa is a visionary man,” said Gan.
He said the masterplan had outlined that the Prince Phillip Park would be more than double in size, whilst the environmental impact and environmental sustainability would be studied by experts.
“Personally, I think that there will be no progress if we are unwilling to change.
“If we stubbornly resist change, there will be no future,” Gan pointed out.
For instance, Singapore has resorted to sea reclamation for developments as it has run out of land.
“Don’t object to the masterplan due to small issues.
“I believe this project, under the State Government and Musa’s leadership, will soon be realized,” he said.
