Anger over island of the 'White Rajahs'


Back to normal: Some China tourists arriving at the Semporna jetty after snorkelling at one of the nearby islands.

SEMPORNA: Several Caucasians working at diving resorts operating on Pom Pom Island have become a stumbling block to security in the border waters off this east coast town.

They work either as senior resort management staff or dive masters but behave like “White Rajahs” who own the island, according to General Operations Forces (GOF) personnel and journalists covering the murder and abduction incident.
