Indonesia is about to lose another Three Islands
Three islands at Mentawai was sold to a South African citizen. That statement is now becoming the hot topic in Indonesia’s media. This news is shocking the Indonesian Government. It just like somebody steals our property from our home, even when we’re at home. Indonesia has thousand islands, some of them have no population, only trees, grass, animals and of course beautiful beach, corals, and underwater view.
The three islands that were sold are Macaroni, Siloinak and Kandui Island. It was a site PrivateIslandsOnline.com that marketed the islands. The price for the islands are US$4,000,000 for Macaroni Island, US$1,600,000 for Siloinak Island and US$8,000,000 for Kandui Island. The ad is seen like this:

The Interesting about the Island

Macaroni is about 15 acres and indeed has good wave so that it is very ideal for surfing. It has lagoon so that swimming is safe.
Siloinak is about 24 acres island. It has very good nature like soft sanded beach, corals, lagoon, palm trees. The island is very safe is it has no mosquitoes and sand flies. The most interesting thing is its wave, very big, just more than that you think. This island is just perfect for ecotourism.
Just like other island at the Mentawai chain, Kandui has very big waves.
I don’t have any idea whether the island that is sold, or just the resorts. If it is the islands that are sold altogether with the resort, it seems the Indonesian government should act. Any island in the Indonesian Archipelago should not be sold. They are belong to Indonesian people. Investments are open for every one in the world, but ownership should be for the Indonesian.
