Matta’s ‘blessing’: Investors sore

Kota Kinabalu: Some property investors here with holdings of strata property in Johor Bahru, and Iskandar Malaysia, Johor, called up Daily Express to express their irk with Sabah-based Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel Agents national president Datuk Tan Kok Liang.

Their unhappiness was Tan, who was not accessible, reportedly had called the cancellation of the Kuala Lumpur-Singapore High-Speed Rail (HSR) as a “blessing in disguise” for the country’s tourism sector.

One of them, also surnamed Tan CK, said: “This is most unbecoming. Why didn’t Matta Tan call the non-realisation of the Kota Kinabalu-Kudat railway planned by the disposed Warisan-led Sabah government a ‘blessing in disguise’ for the Sabah’s tourism sector, and the new Kudat Port too?”

Another property investor Linda Wong said that she and some others invested in property in Iskandar Malaysia after being convinced of the region’s potential at a past Shareda Propex, based on the “game-changer HSR connectivity with Singapore”. Daily Express was one of the media publicists of the Shareda property show.
