Australian tribute to Michael “locks of love” cause community debate

Messages of love for Michael Jackson from around the world are on display in Ballast Point Park (Australia). The rock walls are dotted with hundreds of engraved padlocks, but the King of Pop has his own spot by the sea. However, the Sydney Harbour Foreshore Authority says it has issued a show-cause notice in relation to the Michael Jackson “locks of love” tribute wall, set up by Lindy Bartter two years ago.

“I saw the love locks and thought it would be really nice to start my own wall for Michael Jackson,” the Birchgrove resident said.

After putting up the plaque, Ms Bartter buys locks and has them engraved for people who contact her via email, from countries as far afield as Tunisia, Belgium and America. She charges $25 for the lock, engraving and $1 to a charity for Nigerian children.

Official statement: Joseph Jackson Pulls out of MJ inspired Happyland Vietnam

In February 2011 LMJ reported about Joe Jackson’s plans to participate in ‘Happyland’. The project, similarly named like the Neverland ranch, is envisioned by its developer to be like popular  attractions Universal Studios or Disneyland for this part of the world  and is “the largest tourism project in South Vietnam and Southeast Asia”  according to Vietnamese Deputy Prime Minister Nhuyen Thien Nhan.

Plans for the $2-billion project included the hotel, cinemas,  boardwalk, water park, restaurants and other features commonly seen in  theme parks in developed countries. It is due to open for visitors in  2014. Investors and government officials hope to attract 14  million local and foreign visitors every year to the complex located in  the southern outskirts of Ho Chi Minh City. A project of similar scope  was unveiled by Singapore last year. It includes a Universal Studios  theme park and casino.

Today, the following statement was made on behalf of Joe Jackson:

After careful due diligence and discussions with his wife, family and advisers, Mr. Jackson has decided not to proceed with any further investment or involvement in Project Happyland Vietnam.

Project Happyland Vietnam, backed by Khang Thong Group was projected to be the largest theme park in South East Asia. It was to be inspired by the late Michael Jackson’s Neverland Valley Ranch.

Mr. Jackson would like to thank the people of Vietnam for their warmth, hospitality and kindness. “I Believe in the growth potential of Vietnam and plan on visiting again soon to look for new opportunities over there.” Mr. Jackson said.
