Sipadan Island Sabah Malaysia

Hi,
After reading our local newspaper yesterday and today(Daily Express 19th & 20th Feb 2009Sabah Malaysia), I came across an article about Sipadan Island nominated as one of the seven wonders of the world. Our Chief Minister ask all our malaysian divers to vote online on this issue. I'm just wondering which internet domain or website can I see/read this issue?
Lastly I'm requesting all divers around the world who has visited/dive in sipadan island to vote online.

I will hopefully be able to do that after I get back from there in late April. Very much looking forward to it!

I truly think Sipadan is a wonder to be recognized but unless the authorities resolve the permitting issue I think the interest will diminish over time. Don't get me wrong. I am all for conservation but approving a new resort with 200 beds on one side over the ~500 beds near Sipadan for a total of 120 divers on the island per day is not going to work. Malaysia urgently should reconsider the new resort approval, potentially reduce the number of existing beds. Thats my humble opinion and I'm happy to get all the flame that will be thrown at me.

We were planning a trip there late March and after reading all the late news we changed our mind. I hope there will be a day when we can once again visit Sipadan in all its glory without the stress that the permitting system must be inducing on the DMs and divers.
