Langkawi Permata Kedah
Tuanku Sultan Kedah has bestowed upon Langkawi a new name, “Langkawi Permata Kedah”.
“I hope that the state government will upgrade the facilities at the terminal to international standards as it is the main entrance to the island”
Tuanku, back in 1999 2001, we did try to improve those facilities. In fact, we formed a new subsidiary called “Lada Langkawi Consolidated”, whose sole purpose was to manage these ferry terminals. We created new jobs for the people. We endured tough battles with the Economic Planning Unit in order to make it happen. We wanted to make sure that these facilities in Kuala Kedah, Kuala Perlis & Kuah operated efficiently as what we had done for another port in Langkawi.
We wanted efficiency. But there were some “people” who wanted just money. They wonder & kept asking us, “How is this going to benefit ME?”. And trust me people, these people were not entirely cronies for BN. They were cronies. And that’s why I know cronies are not exclusive only to BN governments.
But what happened? Try asking them. If you ask us, we’ve got a pile of paperwork.
