SAPP: Don't touch beach and central market

KOTA KINABALU, September 10, 2013: Some 30 members of Sabah Progressive Party (SAPP) gathered at the Kota Kinabalu Central Market to voice their protest against the re-zoning of public place into commercial purposes.

They later gathered at the Tanjung Aru first beach next to the Prince Philip Park (pic at left) carrying the same message on Sunday afternoon.

SAPP Secretary General Datuk Richard Yong said: "The Government should not implement any development projects at the expense of public interest. The word development should never be the reason for any government to deprive the people's interest.

"Instead, the government should create more facilities and provide space for leisure and recreation, free of financial burden to the general public.

"It has been mentioned in the Sabah Development Corridor Report that the area covering the High Court, DBKK, State Library and Central Market (pic at right) had been re-zoned from that of public utility to commercial and going to be developed for private commercial purposes,

"The State Library had since been relocated to Suria Sabah shopping mall which is least suitable for any library.

The group carries placard objecting to the re-zoning so that city dwellers could continue to enjoy the facilities provided by the Central Market which is common in many big cities around the world.

Richard, who is also SAPP Tanjung Aru CLC Chairman said: "It is shocking to see so many trees at the Prince Philip Park area chopped down supposedly for the celebration of Malaysia Day on Sept 16.

"The historical site which is part of Sabah's heritage must be preserved and protected instead of outright clearing and felling trees of 100 years old. (pic at left ...what remains of old tree cut)
"What is the plan of the government? What is in the pipeline? The people want to know what is going to happen to the park, the beach and the surrounding areas.

The group carried banner with words mentioning "Save The Beach, No delineation, reclamation, Save the beach for the future generations, The beach land belongs to the people forever.

Also present were SAPP President Datuk Yong Teck Lee, Deputy President Datuk Liew Teck Chan, Wanita Chief Melanie Chia.

    SAPP cuma mementingkan diri sahaja. Ini juga rakyat menolak SAPP dan memberi peluang kepada BN.

    Kerajaan tidak harus mengambil langkah tanpa mengambil tahu akibat dan puncanya. Baik juga jika suara masyarakat didengari.
