appeal for litigation fund of Rm2m

Litigation TAB against TAED by Jslm & UV

Attention members of JSLM and UV (to be revived) Appeal for Litigation Fund of RM2m

We all know what do JSLM and UV stand for here.

There may be thousands of members of JSLM and hundreds of UV members in Sabah.

I have been proposing here in facebook that we initiate litigation against those parties involved with excessive development of the only left pristine beach at the Tanjung Aru after the authorities under BN/UMNO had neglected the Tanjung Aru Beach (TAB) especially Prince Philip Park (PPP) which was created in 1959.

If we go through those records of maintenance of TAB since 1963, I think Musa Aman spent the most money in 2013 for the celebration of golden jubilee of Malaysia within a very short period.  It was incurred because he wanted the PM to launch his pet project of land grabbing of what he called Tanjung Aru Eco Development (TAED) in the disguise of rejuvenating the much neglected only good sandy beach left in Kota Kinabalu.  Musa Aman made some promises to the residents and the consumers plus the environmentalists that his intention was to improve the vast area for the public.

Those were Musa Aman’s words but soon other “animals” like TAEDSB appears on the scene which he claimed is a wholly own state Agency but headed but an outsider like Victor Paul who I believe has his own idea to enrich himself.   Can a non civil servant be the Chief Executive Officer of TAEDSB?  In this case TAEDSB is a private company linked by a tiny thread to the State Government.   Musa Aman must exhibit these records to prove what he and Victor said are relevant.

Other people have jump in band wagon of Musa Aman like President of SUCCC, YB Christina Liew and John Lo trying to paint a favourable picture of a public project when the modus operandi is to grab land.  In such process, we will lose our only pristine sandy beach left in Kota Kinabalu which is a very important historic heritage.

So far the signs are indicative of land grabbing of as much as 600 acres worth RM25billion.

We must stop this hideous project because we will only get a commercial area plus a water front after the massive reclamation of the sea of about 100 acres.  Nothing would be left for the ordinary people although the promise is that public would have access to the sea front but at what costs?

The promise of thousands of jobs is only good on papers as temptation for us to accept TAED and I believe the hotels and resorts could be white elephant within the next 5 years. 

There are people who are trying very hard to stop the TAED project but Musa Aman would not listen and would likely bull doze the plan as he had done so in other earlier projects against public interests.  I believe some of the concrete jungle projects in Kota Kinabalu would be abandoned once it is completed soon.

So I believe the only last resort to stop the TAED is by litigation which may cost any thing up to RM2m to complete the whole process including Appeals as there are multiple cases to be filed.

UV and JSLM members are urged to support the Litigation Fund raising drive as pet projects to conserve environment for this and future generations.  UV and JSLM members and leaders can appeal to the parent bodies for such fund to further our business in global tourism and trade and conservation of nature is of paramount importance to sustain good business practice.  I think the State can earn more with a good image by keeping TAB as pristine and as natural as it is to be a nature’s icon.  Once TAB is defaced by TAED, everything is gone.

Once UV and JSLM make an impact to stop the TAED project, we can then adopt this pristine beach as our icon in public venue.  Other global companies can also participate in the move to stop TAED in TAG 2.0.

Go for TAG 2.0 in litigation portion.
