Gelang Patah parliamentary member Lim Kit Siang has called on Johor Menteri Besar Datuk Khaled Nordin to lead a study tour of all 56 Johor state assembly members to the new island Pulau Ubah which sprung up off Tanjung Kupang in past two weeks and to understand the serious threat to the eco-system caused by mysterious massive land reclamation.

Lim said on Feb 15, accompanied by the DAP Johor state assemblyman for Pengkalan Rinting, Cheo Yee How, and Pakatan Rakyat leaders from PAS and PKR, he had discovered and visited a new island off Kampung Pendas.

In a statement Feb 16,Lim pointed out that the island is growing every day and will eventually be some 10 or 20 times bigger than its present size when its fully completed.

"This is a man-made island and is not to be found in any of the maps in the country, and I believe even Khaled is not aware of the new island's existence," he said.

Lim said the island was named Pulau Uban during the visit.
