"The island" - Malaysia 09
Are you sitting comfortably?
This is "the island", a tropical square mile paradise off the coast of Malaysia. Since the 1990's 3
major projects were kicked off on this island and since then all 3 have failed and now stand abandoned
or at least kept in a semi maintained coma state in the event of prospective investors being found.
The 3 projects are a 4 star beach resort, holiday apartments and a 18 hole golf course.
As to how such a island can get a hat trick or abandoned projects is pretty complicated, so I won't
bore you with it, except know that it revolves around basic economics, financial melt downs and the
odd paranormal invisible jungle elf that locals believe inhabit the island.
The beach resort:
The beach resort was a mixture of individual chalets and main hotel room blocks connected to the
main building. Searching the internet I see the official website for the resort is still up and running.
I wonder how many tourists show up to the island and are greeted with an abandonment! Doh!

When I saw the 1st pic for the 2nd location I thought it was a hotel in Grenada that I worked on in 2007. Wonderful work Raz
