NIBONG TEBAL: Penang has several islands and one of them is Pulau Aman. Its population? About 250.
At the height of the pandemic, the islanders closed access to their homes – not a single outsider was allowed to come ashore and Pulau Aman was one of the few locales nationally that remained largely free of Covid-19.Its reputation as a haven from the pandemic became evident yesterday when Perikatan Nasional’s Batu Kawan candidate Wong Chia Zhen and his supporters from Bersatu and PAS visited.
If chosen, Wong vowed to pressure government authorities to enhance the quality of life for these islanders. After Pulau Aman became open to visitors again, Baharom said tourists came flooding in every weekend. He said many NGOs came by boat to donate supplies so that hardly any islander needed to leave to get necessities. But none of the outsiders were allowed ashore.“Many youths have left our island to seek jobs.
