PETALING JAYA: The developer of the Tioman marina should be made to spend ringgit for ringgit on mitigating measures should the project be allowed to proceed, the Malaysian Sport Diving Association said. 

Its president Datuk Mukhriz Mahathir, who expressed his concern over the implications and potential loss of the island’s treasured marine heritage, said the developer should be made to match the RM40mil project cost for mitigating measures and also to upgrade the island’s antiquated waste disposal system.
