'Deep pockets' only: Prepare to pay US$500 to visit Komodo National Park

The protecting of environment not a valid reason to increase the entrance fees for Komodo National Park. 

In fact, each and every visitor plays a part to conservation and environmental friendliness...

 There will be and also a lot of people who can afford the US $500 entrance fees visit but at then same time, their visit might also cause the same damages to the environment there too !!! 


- EVEN if they do charge US $500 for entrance there to visit and explore the Komodo National Park, doesn't mean that the environment will not suffer as well.. 


Influx of tourism numbers might be indirectly causing environmental issues, but that doesn't imply the need to charge tourists SGD 500 just for entrance fee of Komodo National Park. 


Which in fact, the locals should work with the Ministry together to protect, clean and conserve the environment. 


Just like how in Singapore, tourists and Singaporeans also flock to Sungei Buloh to see Water Monitor Lizards, which are aplenty but yet the entrance fee is free.. 

Staff, local Singaporeans also playing their part to keep Sungei Buloh free of waste, rubbish and protect the environment there.
