Langkawi hotels vigilant over danger

HOTELS along the Pantai Cenang stretch in Pulau Langkawi have always taken precautionary measures to ensure the safety of their guests and visitors.
Casa Del Mar general manager Tom Blachere said the hotel makes it a must that all visitors are informed about  the jellyfish danger, when they check in during the mid-year season.

"At other times, we have it stated on our activity board in the lobby. As much as we need to keep them informed, at the same time, we do not want to alarm our guests."

He said the Langkawi Development Authority (LADA) had provided adequate and updated information to all hotels. A spokesperson for another hotel on Pantai Cenang said several staff had undergone training on first aid and also on how to handle victims of jellyfish stings.

"We have qualified staff on standby at all times. For now, we have not put up any warning signage. However, we do inform our visitors during the jellyfish season."

She said the hotels and business operators along Pantai Cenang took part in gotong-royong exercises once a month to clean up the beach.

Pantai Kok Di Langkawi Dicadang Jadi Tempat Aktiviti Jet Ski

LANGKAWI, 8 Feb (Bernama) -- Pantai Kok di Langkawi dicadang dijadikan zon khas untuk aktiviti sukan air kerana kawasan ini sesuai untuk kegiatan tersebut, menurut Pengerusi Persatuan Ajen-ajen Pelancongan dan Pengembaraan Malaysia (Matta) Kedah, Pishol Ishak.

Kerajaan Kedah atau pihak berkuasa Langkawi hendaklah mewartakan Pantai Kok untuk kegiatan sukan jet-ski yang kini tertumpu di Pantai Cenang, katanya kepada Bernama di sini.

Beliau juga menyokong saranan Menteri Pelancongan, Datuk Seri Dr Ng Yen Yen supaya kerajaan Pulau Pinang perlu mewujudkan zon khas untuk sukan air di pantai bagi mengelak kejadian kemalangan.

Dr Ng membuat saranan itu berikutan kejadian seorang pelancong warga China, Zhu Li, 47, patah kedua-dua kaki akibat dirempuh sebuah jet-ski di Batu Feringghi, Sabtu lepas.

Pengurus Besar Persatuan Pelayaran Malaysia (MYA) Mohd Afendy Abdullah pula mahu aktiviti sukan air jeti-ski diadakan sekurang-kurangnya 200 meter dari pantai.

Katanya aktiviti jet-ski mengganggu latihan pelayar negara yang menjalani latihan di perairan di hadapan Kompleks Latihan Perahu Layar Kebangsaan Langkawi di Pokok Asam, di sini.

AL :- 

Tak tahulah idea ni elok ke idak. Kalau dari satu segi ok. Tapi Pantai Kok jauh dr tempat & chalet pelancong. Kecualilah lepas ni nak bagi kawasan Pantai Kok mcm jadi Pantai Chenang. Pada saya eloklah tgk balik @ buat guideline utk aktiviti sukan air supaya tragedi seperti haritu x berulang. 

Permasalahan Sampah Di Langkawi ~ Laporan

Pemandangan Indah di Pantai Kok

Masalah pengutipan sampah didapati amat meruncing di Langkawi. Ni berdasarkan penelitian bbrp kali oleh cek sendiri di sekitar kawasan Langkawi. Tidak diketahui kenapa, tetapi jika tiada perhatian diberi maka ia bakal mencemarkan nama baik Langkawi.

Monyet, kerbau, lembu & lain-lain binatang yg nampaknya seronok dgn timbunan sampah-sampah ini. Tetapi bagi pengunjung & penduduk yg melalui kawasan tersebut 'sakit mata' bila memandang.

Harap pihak yg berwajib ambil perhatian kerana walaupun Langkawi punyai status yg berbagai-bagai tetapi pandangan yg menyakitkan ini bakal mencemarkan nama Pulau kesayangan kita.

Wassalam.

p/s: Harap Majlis Perbandaran Langkawi ambil tindakan.
