SEMPORNA: It is business as usual for the high-end Pom Pom Island Resort where a Taiwanese tourist was shot dead and his wife kidnapped by Filipino gunmen.
 
On Saturday morning, foreign tourists including Taiwanese were seen arriving at this east coast town after landing at Tawau airport.

More than a dozen were seen boarding the resort's tour coach and appeared unaware of the shooting and kidnapping incident at about 1am on Friday.

However, tour agents associated with the resort shrugged off the gunmen's raid on the island. 

"There are murders happening everyday in Kuala Lumpur. Do people stop going there?," he said.

When contacted a resort tour agent said they had two garden villa rooms available for the night at RM650 per person.
