KOTA KINABALU, April 10 – The State Government plans to beautify Pulau Gaya and turn it into one of Sabah’s tourist attractions, said Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor.
He said Pulau Gaya has the quality to become a good tourist attraction but the presence of squatters on the island would not bode well with the plan.
“The idea has been there for quite some time and the current State Government is planning to shift the people who are locals in Pulau Gaya to the main land.
“Pulau Gaya has a special place in our history and it is located just about a five-minute boat ride from the State Capital. We need to leverage on this,” he said at the Kembara Kasih Ramadan programme at Pulau Gaya recently.
The Chief Minister said the Putatan Parliament Office under Deputy Chief Minister III Datuk Shahelmey Yahya also plan to build a Health Clinic on the island.
