I WHOLEHEARTEDLY share Bayan Baru MP Sim Tze Tzin’s concerns on the need to conserve Pulau Jerejak, “PKR MP: Don’t turn Pulau Jerejak into another Sentosa Island” (The Star, Nov 19).

Pulau Jerejak is the biggest of Penang’s five lesser known outer lying islands and also the closest. Growing up, I saw this beautiful island from the window of my room every day and it often evoked a sense of tranquillity and mystery. In those days, I always wondered what might be hidden in this beautiful green paradise.
