PD residents see red

For the love of PD rather difficult for me not to pen a line or two with regards to the above issue. Just to relate how lackadaisical attitude and poor foresight makes PD as a tourist destination of last choice.
Almost over 20 years I have not been to areas  along the coastal  toward the southern part of PD, places such as Pasir Panjang, Kuala Linggi and those small township on the Melaka side of the border. I drive from Alor Gajah to Masjid Tanah cut off to Kuala Linggi down the to coastal town of Pasir Panjang than finally to Port Dickson town proper. I was so surprise and how well developed those townships located in Melaka area, such as Alor Gajah, Masjid Tanah and Sg Baru. A well kept small townships  with many kampungs  along the way, which are of great value for tourist product with good roads, pleasant scenery and full ambient of a true Malay kampung. But alas, as you cross over Kuala Linggi bridge, the landscape abruptly change. Now, in NS or exactly in the district of PD. 
Sorry to say, how unkempt the places are!!!.. the road side table has not been maintained, maybe for quite sometime. I don't think they (MPPD) really wants to encourage the tourist to come to visit PD.  If PD residents are seeing red on the above issue, I would say they (MPPD) don't see any color at all.
