Port Dickson : THIRD Hard Rock Hotel Site in Asia !

WTF ??

Errr..... just what is SO enticing about Port Dickson to make it the site for Asia's THIRD Hard Rock Hotel neways ??

I mean Pattaya has them wimmens, while Bali has them gan-ja, but P.D. ....wtf ??

Local and foreign tourists can look forward to the sight of oil tankers passing by, or delight in the green glowing waters as the sewage pipes flow into P.D. from the mainland....

Maybe some Nogori native out there could comment a lil' on P.D.'s redeeming qualities and TRY to convince sceptical ol' me that this is a good idea....


NiK!
---it SO should have been Redang or Perhentian instead...Sipadan even....

PORT DICKSON, July 17 (Bernama) -- Port Dickson will be the location of the third Hard Rock Hotel in Asia, after Pattaya (Thailand) and Bali (Indonesia).

The Negeri Sembilan government has approved the development of the five-star hotel at a cost of RM175 million at Km11.2 of Jalan Pantai, Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan said Sunday.

The hotel would be constructed on the 6.8 hectares previously occupied by the Si Rusa Inn and would face the sea, he said, adding that it was expected to be completed in 2007.

"The Hard Rock Hotel will more or less transform Port Dickson into a seaside resort of repute, alongside Bali in Indonesia and Pattaya in Thailand," he told reporters after presenting prizes to winners of the Port Dickson International Triathlon here.

The private-owned Hard Rock Hotel Port Dickson would have 300 rooms and 50 chalets.

Hard Rock Hotel Port Dickson will be managed by HPL Hotels & Resorts which has its headquarters in Singapore and is wholly owned by Hotel Properties Limited (HPL).
