SANDAKAN: Assistant Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Joniston Bangkuai has reiterated Sabah tourism stakeholders's hope that foreign missions reconsider their travel advisories issued for the east coast.

Countries such as Australia and the United Kingdom have long issued travel advisories against visiting the east coast on security grounds.

“Sabah’s east coast, including Sandakan, is safe. Comprehensive security measures have been implemented to ensure the highest level of safety for both residents and visitors.

“No untoward incidents have occurred over the years,” he said during a welcoming dinner for Sandakan Day 2024, here, Wednesday, hosted by the Sabah Tourism Board and Sandakan Municipal Council.
