Say goodbye to those weekend getaway plans to visit Malaysia’s very own little Greece. The Mini Santorini in Cameron Highlands which was about to be one of the biggest tourist attractions in our country, has been exposed for dabbling in illegal work. 

According to a Facebook post by the Majlis Pemandaran Cameron Highlands (MDCH), the Mini Santorini attraction was apparently built illegally. It was said that the developers failed to acquire the confirmation to form the Greece-inspired town in the area.

This unfortunate but necessary act was taken due to the getaway spot violating section 70(1) of the Road, Drainage and Building Act 1974 (Act 113) which states offence regarding unapproved construction. The attraction had been operating for 4 months illegally and there is currently no statement from the developers about the demolition.

The MDCH along with a few other authorities had started the process of breaking down the Greece oasis on 5th August in just 2 hours – from 9am and ended the process at 11:30am. As shown in the photos posted on Facebook, the authorities used excavators and iron hammers to tear down the once-beautiful depiction of Santorini Greece.

Although many Malaysians had not been able to visit the location before it was demolished, the MDCH stressed the importance of this action to show the seriousness of illegal construction. We hope our Mini Santorini will come back bigger, stronger and hopefully legal.
