PADANG  - The issue related to the sale of three islands in Mentawai District, West Sumatra, does not disturb the sovereignty of the Unitary State of the Indonesian Republic (NKRI). The statement was made by director general of Indonesian Maritime and Fishery Resources Management and Control (P2SKP), Aji Sularso, in a press conference at the West Sumatra governor’s office after a coordination meeting with West Sumatra provincial administration and Mentawai district administration officials on Thursday.
   
Sularso explained if there was a legal violation in the case, an investigation should be made. "But in this segment, there is no strong indication of legal violation, because in reality there is no island that has been sold," Sularso said.
   
Commenting on an information in the internet that three islands in Mentawai had been sold, he said it could be either true or false. It was reported earlier that three islands in Mentawai district, namely Macaroni, Siloinak, and Kandui, had been sold to a foreign party.
   
The islands were offered for lease through website http://www.privateislandsonline.com. of Private Islands Inc. at 550 Queen St East Suite 330 Toronto on M5A 1 V2, in Canada at the price of US$4 million for Macaroni island, US$ 1.6 million for Siloinak island, and US$8 million for Kandui island.
   
"The website and its address are clear so it will be easy for us to trace it and if the information is true, we can investigate it through diplomatic channels with our representative in Canada. Therefore, we want to send a letter to our foreign affairs minister to follow it up," he said.
   
But he said in the coordination meeting it was concluded that it was impossible for the three islands in Mentawai to be sold to a foreign party.

Edinburgh - a mysterious figure in the Loch Ness Lake recorded a Google Earth like a giant tadpole. Those who believe know that Nessie, giant monsters which inhabit the lake. Seen from Google Earth satellite images, these figures do have features like an animal's body. Oval shape with a tail and four parts such as legs or fins. 

"This is a startling image and interesting," said Cameron McSporran, head of the Institute at the University of Nessiologi Applications Inverness. Images are considered as the report's most significant Nessie sightings since 1974 when the people who camped at the caravan park said she saw the Loch Ness scaly green creature with the head erect and elongated body. 

With the emergence of the figure depicted Google Earth, people who believe any more convinced that Nessie is not real fairy tale. The creature may Plesiosaur, a giant ancient reptiles that could swim. Plesiosaur alive since 150 million years ago, but it is thought extinct like the dinosaurs 65 million years ago. "This of course is uncertain. It should be done further research," said Adrian Shine, the Loch Ness Project. 

Legend of Nessie popular since 1933 when photos emerged long-necked monster figure. Although it later proved that the images only deception, many people who witness reported seeing a mysterious creature in the lake.
