“Tioman Island Airport Development Revival – More Expense than Earnings” by Serina Rahman

 

2017/43, 26 July 2017

During the recent launch of the Tekek Makmur affordable homes on Pulau Tioman, Pahang, it was announced that cancelled airport development plans would be revived. Initially announced in 2003 by then-PM Mahathir Mohamed, the project would entail the reclamation of a 2km long, 45m wide airport runway stretching out over coral reefs and seagrass meadows off Kampung Paya. The complete infrastructure plan costing RM120 million at the time also required the destruction of half a hillside adjacent to the village. That project was scrapped in 2009 by the then-Minister of Transportation, Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat, after multiple protests by the community and NGOs. Scientific presentations also showed that the value of the habitat in its current state as contributors to tourism and other ecosystem services was far higher than potential earnings from airport development – especially when coupled with the economic costs of environmental destruction.
