Save Carey Island..

Carey Island to turn into a landfill area???!!! This is outrageous! Those who know me will understand why I am being so sentimental about Carey Island. My family was very fortunate enough to be there for a couple of years. If you bought yourself a copy of today’s Malay Mail you will see a map in the front page. In the map you ll see a heritage bungalow under item number 3. One of the bungalows is actually the bungalow house for the West Estate manager. That is where we used to live. If you turn inside you ll see the type of bungalows they had. The one pictured was the Haters Castle. Among all the bungalows that was the most special of all. If I am not mistaken its usually reserved for the Golden Plantation CEO or summtin like that. From what I understand, we were the last family to ever lived in the West Estate’s managers bungalow, as right now the company does not put the manager in that bungalow anymore. This is all the more reason why I feel so sentimental about it. We were truly blessed to be able to live there, especially now since we live in the city. With the cut throat hustle and bustle of city life, remembering our time in Carey Island never fails to pinch a nerve. I hope they maintain Carey Island. Even though it’s mostly a plantation island it has something that we currently have less and less of. All in the name of development….yeah right.
