KOTA KINABALU: Voices are growing stronger for firm action against fish-bombing activities in Sabah as police continue to track down the suspects behind the deaths of three divers in the diving haven of Semporna.

Political leaders and environmentalists are demanding for more deterrent action against such offenders as Sabah’s maritime and tourism community reeled in shock over the deaths, believed to have been caused by a fish bomb.
