Please rethink de-gazetting of Pulau Kukup

I REFER to the report “Pulau Kukup may lose its status” (The Star, Dec 5) on the Johor state government’s de-gazetting of the status of Pulau Kukup as a national park. This area is the second largest mangrove island in the world.

We can build the second largest hotel or even the second largest oil refinery in the world but there is one thing we can never build or even create – the second largest pristine mangrove island in the world.
