“He told me a lot of Chinese tourists have inquired from Immigration about staying in Sabah for another month. The director has not received new instructions from the Chief Minister.” Loh said the Olympic World Table Tennis Champion loved Sabah’s natural tourist attractions very much. “Due to the Olympic World Table Tennis Championship Li Ju’s tourist visa will expire on the 24th of this month. It is my hope that the Sabah Government will be able to accommodate it,” he said.
Loh said Li ju would also contribute her strength to provide the Sabah ping pong athletes with a short-term of six-month training in Sabah for free.
