Terengganu Is Chasing Tourists Away

The Mentri Besar of Terengganu’s decision to turn Pulau Redang into a high-end holiday destination really disheartens me. He said it was the only way to save the surrounding rich marine life and prevent environmental destruction due to pollution and indiscriminate littering.

Hmmmmm … just another excuse for not able to enforced the law.

Anyway, you could still see it from here My snorkeling trip and feed the fish at Redang.

Too bad, after this, those who can’t afford to pay for US$500 for a hotel room per night would not be able to enjoy this view.

This is how it looks like underwater As promised, I have uploaded my Redang Island snorkeling trip to Youtube. I have edited the video prior to upload. Although this one is only 36 seconds, but it took nearly 30 minutes to upload. It’s about 60MB in size and in HD.

This video was taken at the Pulau Pinang Marine Park, Redang, using the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FT1. You don’t need additional casing to use it underwater.

Make sure you watch in HD.

I also took I week off. Took the family for a trip to Kuala Trengganu, Redang and Cherating. Will blog more about it soon, with more pictures, and videos if I manage to upload it to Youtube.

This is me and my wife at the Redang Marine Park, underwater

Remember about the two cameras, Olympus and Panasonic, which are waterproof and shockproof. I bought the Lumix DMC-FT1. Here’s more pictures taken underwater. The deepest I went in with this camera is 1.5m deep.

Cantik kan?
