ReplyDeleteWe can't denied about this..Tourism is one of the benefit income for Sabah. Every year the amount of tourist will be increase. So state govt need to open more place to be attraction for tourist come to Sabah. Another factor prevent the entry is the flight direct to Sabah. Because some need to transit from KLIA first before come to Sabah. So open more direct flight to Sabah from international.
