Again - Port Dickson in The Dim Light!!

I could not help it, I concur with you absolutely!!
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 area  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 kampong  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 Negeri Sembilan  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.


Nothing new for those who love PD. Sometime I wonder why can't the local council or the state government emulate what others are doing. The just seem to miss the whole issue and never seem to value PD beaches. Please do something to ensure PD remains a premium holiday destination for most people residing in Klang valley. Port Dickson with so beautiful beaches running for miles,serene blue calm water and places of interest such as Tanjung Tuan. But yet the state government don't even have a proper blue print to exploit it potential.
Cleaning up and continuous maintenance should be an ongoing agenda here in PD. The state councilor in-charge of tourism should know his function well, or at least if he don't know what to do, get somebody who know how to go about in making PD a wonderful holiday destination. PD is just like pearl in the mud. Nobody seem to care....
