Nude tourists can still be charged in Native Court on top of criminal charges


KOTA KINABALU: There is nothing to stop the Native Court from taking further action against the four foreigners for allegedly stripping and urinating on Mount Kinabalu, even though they are already facing charges in the Criminal Court.

Sabah Law Association president Datuk John Sikayun said if complaints were lodged with the Native Court, action could still be taken as it had separate jurisdiction under State native customary laws.
