Unesco geoparks may become one
Unesco geoparks may become one
Malaysia and Thailand may soon share the honour of caring for two 550-million-year-old assets joined as one.
The Langkawi Development Authority (Lada) will discuss with Satun province to merge the Unesco Global Geoparks (UGG) on both sides into one.
“As the first transnational UGG in Asia, tourists exploring this natural wonder will be able to move between Langkawi and Satun with the least hassle,” said Lada chief executive officer Dr Hezri Adnan.
He said he has passed this request to Unesco, adding that he will meet the Satun governor next month on the matter.
Langkawi won its UGG status in 2007 while Satun got it just last year.
Dr Hezri said both geoparks were actually formed at the same time, during a massive tectonic event that split apart the old supercontinent Pangea 550 million years ago.
Visitors can view one of the massive granitic boulders that was once a part of Pangea at the newly-opened Langkawi Garden of Rainbows and Butterflies near Telaga Harbour Park.
A single boulder measuring over 45m across was partly unearthed and is now a feature of the garden.
“Geologically speaking, the Satun and Langkawi geoparks are one and the same.
“Our lands share the same ancient history,” he added.
By merging, he said both sides will share the duties of conservation, managed development and promotion.
He said the cross-border attraction will significantly boost Langkawi’s tourism industry and that tourists from around the world will be able to immerse themselves in the natural wonders and cultures of both places with minimum immigration hassle.
Travel time by ferry between Langkawi and Satun geoparks are one and a half hours.

Malaysia to implement VEP fee at Thai border
JPJ: Malaysia to implement VEP fee at Thai border
Malaysia will implement road charges and the Vehicle Entry Permit (VEP) system at the Thai border soon, said the Road Transport Department.
Its director-general Datuk Seri Nadzri Siron said the Transport Ministry was studying the matter and carrying out surveys on the number of vehicles crossing bordering states in Perlis, Kedah, Perak and Kelantan.
"JPJ as the executing agency has started its work at all the border states. It will be the same as how it is implemented at the Johor Baru–Singapore border.
"The charges would be the same, which is RM20 for every foreign registered vehicle entering Malaysia, and RM5 from that will be given to the state government," he told a press conference after the "One Community One JPJ" event here on Monday.
He added that the VEP, which will be carried out at the same time, would see a better record of vehicles entering the country.

沙敦保护开发新七彩珊瑚区
沙敦保护开发新七彩珊瑚区
沙敦府【Satun】拉武县巴南镇阁派达群岛国家公园负责人巴纳蓬昨天（22日）表示，根据对该县阁欣考岛和阁盖岛周边海域的初步调查发现，在距离阁布隆岛旅游点的附近，发现大量的七彩珊瑚。目前该公园正在赶制相关调查报告提交国家公园厅，寻求适当的保护措施，争取发展成为当地又一沿海浮潜旅游特色。
巴纳蓬指出，在该海域内发展的七彩珊瑚占地约2万莱，为了进行更详细的调查，该公园将与国家公园委员会展开商议，以下到当地仔细勘察，之后再形成报告提交国家公园厅。同时该公园还将请求公园厅针对该海域发布保护公告，避免遭受游客和当地渔民的破坏，因为该海域不属于该公园负责范围。
巴纳蓬表示，在阁欣考岛发现的七彩珊瑚最完整，可以发展成为新的旅游景点，因为目前已开始有游客前去观光。希望能在政府的保护下合理开发旅游，不仅可以保存当地的美好景色，也可以带动当地民众的经济创收。
