Masidi slams Nazri over remark Sabah unsafe for tourists


PETALING JAYA: An Umno lawmaker in Sabah has heavily criticised Tourism and Culture Minister Datuk Seri Mohamed Nazri Abdul Aziz for saying that the safety of tourists in the state could not be guaranteed until two recent kidnappings were resolved.

Datuk Masidi Manjun, who is the state Tourism, Culture, and Environment Minister, said his Federal counterpart’s statement threatened to undo the hard work undertaken by the Sabah tourism authorities to bring back tourists to the state.
