Tiada rancangan bina taman tema di Cameron Highlands - MB

KUANTAN: Isu pembinaan taman tema di Cameron Highlands tidak pernah dibincangkan dalam mesyuarat Exco Kerajaan Negeri Pahang.

Demikian ujar Menteri Besar, Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail ketika diminta mengulas mengenai bantahan dikemukakan badan bukan kerajaan (NGO) yang mahu kerajaan Pahang menolak cadangan membina sebuah taman tema di daerah berkenaan.

"Tidak betul.. jangan percaya, setakat ini tiada sebarang permohonan rasmi, dan dalam mesyuarat Exco pun kita tidak pernah bincang perkara ini," katanya pada sidang media selepas melawat pusat pemberian vaksin (PPV) remaja di Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Bukit Rangin di sini, hari ini.

Berdasarkan laporan dikeluarkan awal Ogos lalu, sebuah pemaju taman tema dikatakan bercadang membina sebuah taman tema bernilai RM100 juta di kawasan seluas 60 ekar.

Susulan itu ianya telah mendapat bantahan daripada pelbagai pihak berikutan kesannya terhadap alam sekitar.

Mengulas lanjut, Wan Rosdy berkata meskipun status tapak cadangan pembinaan taman tema itu adalah tanah milik persendirian, tidak bermakna pembinaan akan diluluskan.

“Tanah-tanah persendirian bukan bermakna dia boleh buat kilang senjata api, dia boleh buat bom. Tak boleh, dia kena mohon dengan kerajaan walaupun di tanah sendiri pun. Kalau ada kayu balak pun nak keluarkan balak dia kena dapatkan kebenaran daripada kerajaan negeri that's the beauty of our law dengan peraturan," katanya.

Justeru beliau meminta semua pihak merujuk kepada kerajaan negeri bagi mendapatkan maklumat yang sebenar berhubung isu berkenaan.

In Malaysia, 75% of teenagers use social media daily—but with this constant connection comes a growing number of risks. A new report by the think tank SERI titled ‘Teens, Tech, and Trust’ reveals that fewer than half of Malaysian teens feel safe online— with cyberbullying, scams, and hacking being everyday realities. Meanwhile, questions are being raised about whether schools, parents, and even social media platforms are doing enough to protect our young digital citizens. On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Dr Benjamin Loh, senior lecturer at Taylor’s University School of Media and Communication and director of the Impact Lab for Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions.
