In Malaysia, there are a lots of the world's most pristine and celebrated beaches. Its expansive coral beaches which produce pure, snow-white sand which sits in dazzling contrast to the crystal blue waters of its shorelines. Many of the sea waters are teeming with exotic marine life, much of its cannot be found anywhere else on earth.

| Polluted sea water in Malaysia |
As a Minister of Tourism and Culture, I suggest to build up a filtering system to filter the toxic and chemical substances from industries which polluted the sea water. So, I will cooperate with Ministry of International Trade And Industry about this issue.
Besides, our country should promote lower package tours with high quality to attract local and foreign tourist to enjoy their holidays with friends and family at seaside. Improvements in facilities and public transport at the beaches also important to attract tourists. Government should collecting and gathering feedback from tourists, to help the country collectively know where we stand on our offerings and what did tourists needed.
Lastly, by cooperation of local citizens and government, the beaches in Malaysia will be less polluted. Hence, the number of tourists will also increase and the name of our country will be well known.

ReplyDeleteThanks^_^
DeleteI hope all these steps can completely solve the problems at the beaches^^
Hi, that's a good post. I have question on what you post.Give the approximate amount of money used in this filtering system project.
ReplyDeleteSecond question is how is it beneficial to our government if you lower the package price. Because of all the complaint nowadays,a lot of tourist is becoming lesser and lesser.This will lead to the fall of the government's economy.
Thanks for ur comment. For the amount used in the filtering system project should based on the size of industry and the size of filtering system which also known as water treatment system. The approximate cost for one small size water treatment system is around RM10k and for large size water treatment may cost around RM70k or higher.
DeleteFor ur 2nd question, watever the tourist nowadays become more lesser and lesser, bt from the low price promotion package like lower the flight ticket price or promotion from the hotel also can attract more foreign tourist to visit our country, Malaysia. This is because the lower price promotion package can successful attrach the tourist who want to save money on the flight ticket or staying. When the amount of foreign tourist increase, our country economy will also increase because the money they spent in our country will rise the economy up. So, the benefic is rise the country economy and also the rate of foreign tourists to our country.
I totally agree with your suggestion to reduce the pollution of the beach in Malaysia especially the seaside cleanning programme. Through this programme, I think the citizen as well as the tourist will understand more and be more concern about the pollution. And at the same time they will try not to throw the rubbish everywhere as they already know the feeling and hardness to clean up the seaside.
ReplyDeleteBesides, I have one suggestion over here, maybe you can set up more rubbish bin at the seaside so that people will not throw rubbish everywhere and reduce pollution. =)
Thank for ur comment and suggestion. I agree with ur suggestion because this is also a good way to solve the problem and at the same time also can attract more tourism to enjoy at beach. =)
DeleteOur countries' beaches are truly gifts from nature but pollution causes our jewel to lose their luster. I agree that if the beaches are clean, they will become a tourist hotspot and to achieve that motive, the local citizens should cooperate with the government.
ReplyDeleteThanks for ur comment and agree^^
DeleteNice post. beaches in our country is an attraction to attract more citizen and tourist to visit and relax.So, the governments really have to take care of the cleanliness at the beach.I 'm agree with you about the seaside cleaning programmes.

DeleteThanks for ur comment and agree. Beach really a good place to enjoy together with family and friends.
DeleteHi. I agree with your opinion about the vegetation planting project. But how can it be done? Because the soil on the beach is quite different compared to the normal soil that the farmer used.
ReplyDeleteThanks for ur comment~For the vegetation planting project, it can be done by planting the trees like coconut trees and others plants which plants can be plants at beach.^^
DeleteI totally agree with you about organization of cleaning campaign to reduce rubbish on seaside . But how you can make sure the public will participate the campaign ?
ReplyDeleteThanks for ur comment=)
DeleteTo make sure public participate in the cleaning campaign, I will do a advertisement to them about the important of the campaign with the environment. This not only can let them know about the important but also can let know about the advantage and disadvantage of it. So, from the advertisment, it will successful to attract more public to participate.
Besides, cleaning campaign not only can conduct by government, it can also can conduct by school to student by teaching them how to keep seasides clean and the benefit of it. ^^
Yea, I'm totally with your seggestions. And I have another suggestion to reduce the pollution is the punishment has to be applied to those who break the rules, for example, ask the rules-breaking people to clean the rubbish which is thrown into the sea either river
ReplyDeleteYes, I totally agree with your statement that beaches in Malaysia are polluted like Port Dickson as for my experience in that beach. The pollution in the beach makes the local tourists to have bad impression which may lead to the decrease in the number of foreigners who visit beaches in Malaysia. This may affect the tourism development in Malaysia.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agreed with your article. Beach is one of the place which will attract a lot of tourists to our country. Therefore, if the beach has been polluted, i believe that it really will affect our economy. That's why i agree with your suggestions.
