I don't think Harris Salleh has much say anymore but he certainly has a lot of properties on the island. In Langkawi Boon Siew was the towkay and still owns much of it. No one knows much about the compensations and previleges accorded to these lucky guys. That goes to show how open and transparent govt transactions are. Look at the new facts that emerged about the giving away of 2 rich oilfields to Brunei. What's done cannot be undone.norzahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05325162246693348711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7724177439519828268.post-6609426704265184432010-05-02T17:07:38.539-07:002010-05-02T17:07:38.539-07:00Sdr Norzah,

Being made a Fed Territory moved it faster.<br /><br />Apparently Datuk Harris Salleh owned almost all of the island before its conversion. Good foresight, lucky guy!<br /><br />It was almost a similar situation for Langkawi. 50% of Langkawi belonged to a chettiar when PM Mahathir decided to have it developed. <br /><br />I wonder if both 'stories' were true. 2 lucky guys!kaykualahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03240206222973305395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7724177439519828268.post-44860621086936529902010-05-02T11:03:55.532-07:002010-05-02T11:03:55.532-07:00Kenapa tak datang-datang kemari, Yy,

Esok pagi aku dan pegawai-pegawai Kementerian Pelancongan sudah mau balik ke KL.<br />Sayang tak sempat lewat KK.
