Were Makaroni, Kandui, and Siloniak Island sold?

Is it right if the three islands in Mentawai sold? The clarification about it comes from the government official controlling of fishery resource of Indonesia Mr. Aji Sularso. He said that the information is a big liar. Therefore, for the visitors of privateislandsonline.com “the website where the advertisement release that the island sold” must be careful and do not believe about this issue.

He said there are some irresponsibility people who want to get some benefits from this. How could be there is a country wants to sell their own land to others if anybody want to lease it maybe that is OK. Makaroni, Kandui, and Siloniak Island is a part of Mentawai island and legally is apart of Indonesia area. Therefore, everybody must be careful about that issue.

In other hand, he admits the resort of that island is so beautiful and could become precious Indonesia tourism asset in the future.

Note:

How disgraceful if somebody sell their own Country!
