Kota Kinabalu: The status of the said abandoned RM280 million five-star Resort Alorie Lepa Lepa Resort being developed off Semporna remains unknown. None of the company's top management were available for comments, including its Chief Executive Officer, who was said to be outstation by a staff.

She was also unable to provide further contact details of the officials.

State Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Masidi Manjun also said he is not in the know of the progress of the project.

"Some say delayed," he said, without explaining further.

Based on the blog entry on Tuesday by a group called "Concerned Tour Operators" the resort in Mabul was abandoned six months ago inspite of its completion scheduled for early 2014.

Only piling columns stretching about a kilometre into the sea were seen at the project site as of date, posing adverse environmental impacts the group claimed.
