a few months before the asian games, tehy decided that the whole island was an eyesore and that the space would suit something more classy, given the large influx of tourists expected. So, there was talk of building a resort on the island, and developing it into one of the major attractions. The island was wiped clean within a week or so.

And then they looked around and realized that it was awfully small to be able to host a resort, plus there were construction issues blah blah. All i know is UDC was in charge of that project, and before anything could be decided, it was December 2006, and after the games, noone really saw any point to doing anything about it.
