KOTA KINABALU: The silence over development at Sabah's iconic Tanjung Aru beach here has left many citizens wondering about the real plans for the controversial project.
Kota Kinabalu's Tanjung Aru beach is known internationally for its iconic sunsets that s draw locals and tourists in droves.
They complained that most of the beachfront under the proposed TAED had now become a wasteland with the public barred from entering and upkeep of the area neglected."The only thing done is to put up pondok to collect parking fees. What are they really up to?" asked a Kota Kinabalu resident. "We also used to see Kota Kinabalu City Hall workers every morning, as early as 7am, cleaning up the beach and the surrounding areas."Since TAED took over the area about a year ago, there is rubbish everywhere, even more now because of the increased number of stalls and people.
"What are they doing? As far as we can see, they have put up offices, hired 'security' and cleared land. We pay for parking, but the parking bays are haphazard and the lot is dark at night," he said.
