LAHAD DATU: Life went on as usual in this Sabah east coast town a day after the kidnapping of Chinese national Yang Zai Lin – but the latest incident has left the state’s business community feeling jittery.

Many fear that the rapid economic growth enjoyed by the east coast folk might take a beating in terms of investments as well as tourist arrivals if nothing concrete is done to strengthen and totally secure the state’s east coast border with the troubled southern Philippines.
