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.

the nature it for everybody to enjoy..discriminating will not solve the problem. There are bad people in any community be it rich or poor!

@adamfaiz
but seems like the authorities are opting for the easy way out. If this work, expect to see Tioman to be in the list and the other islands as well.

Very interesting analysis. Everything is ultimately a business decision. Pulau Redang looks like a perfectly wonderful holiday destination. I’m impressed.
