East Coast Island so far is the best among all the island within peninsular Malaysia. Lang Tengah is remote … less pollution. Redang and perhentian is too commercialize. I went to Redang 7 years ago before the famous movie Momocha, The island was superb. The shore was flooded with rich marine lifes and corals ….2 months ago, I revisit the island, it stunned me as all the corals were damaged, vanish and what left is just white soft sandy sand with lots of died corals.
It took hundreds years for the mother nature to give us such wonderful corals and it took less then7 years to destroyed them all.
Comparing the Redang marine park I revisited few months back to the same park which I visited back 2004, I noticed 20% of the corals vanished and died. I wonder what the ocean preserve division doing their task there? They collects RM5 for each visitor pop to the park but still the corals vanishing every year.. hmm…
