IT is shocking, indeed illogical, that the state government is prepared to pour in a large chunk of its development resources to reclaim a piece of swampy no-man’s land in Port Dickson (PD) for its proclaimed objective to “build more dwellings and create tourism products”.
The project is ill-conceived, to say the least. Everybody knows land reclamation is a very costly business and justified only in extreme situations of land scarcity, as in the case of Singapore. This is not the situation in PD, which has miles of pristine and beautiful beaches and large tracts of vacant land dotted only with numerous untenanted houses, apartments, condos and even bungalows and ugly skeletons of failed construction projects stretching from south of the town to the border with Melaka.
