KOTA KINABALU: A barter trade ban between Sabah and the southern Philippines has not been lifted under moves to relax certain restrictions in trade that were imposed in April last year following a spate of Abu Sayyaf-linked kidnappings in the Sulu Sea.

National Security Council  Sabah director Datuk Rodzi Md Saad said that the lifting of the sea trading bans is only for the transshipment of goods imported to Sabah and re-exported to Philippines and Indonesia.
