He was at the terminal last week at 11am to pick some guests from Brunei and tried hard to divert their attention for the image -bashing sight as it created a misleading impression of the island.
“But unfortunately I was not successful as the visitors saw the condition at the terminal and remarked “ is the ferry terminal always is such shape choking with filth,” said Roger.Stay up-to-date by following Daily Express’s Telegram channel.

Roger added that he was unsure from where the debris had floated and settled around the landing ramp, it could be from nearby villages, from beaches or even from passengers on passing ferries discarding their rubbish into the sea.
“What is important is for the relevant authority to monitor the environment around the terminal and clear up ugly sights that don’t actually justify island’s image,” remarked Roger.
