I love Legend Water Chalet


It was a few years back that loose cannon took his family to Legend Water Chalets in Port Dickson, spending his hard-earned money for a day of rejuvenation, not a romantic getaway, what with a baby and a toddler forming part of the entourage. The family came back feeling that the place was designed with honeymooners in mind. Next time loose cannon will make sure the entourage stays at home so that he and the wifey can rekindle the romance!

The Malay Mail's revelation on the National Sports Council's extravagance for purchasing two units of the exact chalet that loose cannon and family had stayed is timely. It serves as a timely reminder to NSC that proper procedures and due dilligence must always be observed and performed.

1. Should NSC buy the units in the first place?

2. For whom are they for?

3. Was the investment worth it?

Loose cannon is OK with the purchase since every statutory body has a place to call its retreat. Loose cannon had been to a few in Fraser's Hills and Cameron Highlands. If the cash had remained in the coffers, in hindsight it would have been spent for something else, knowing how the NSC functioned from 2004 to 2008.

The price by now may have shot through the roof. If NSC is scraping the bottom of the barrel, they have the option of selling the place.

Now if this purchase was put under the microscope by the MACC, loose cannon wonders why other questionable and dubious spendings are not under scrutiny!

Read Ministry's reactions here, that the chalet was supposed to a secret here and the Malay Mail revelation here. And of course Citizen Nades' brutal take here.
