KOTA KINABALU: Efforts are being made to promote Sulug Island, one of the five islands under Tunku Abdul Rahman National Park off Kota Kinabalu waters, as a hub or centre for dark tourism in Sabah.

Sabah Tourism Board (STB) board of directors member Roslinah Abd Hamid said this is because 70% of the historical artifacts already existed in the island, where Japanese soldiers in 1943 captured and killed the island inhabitants, believed to be part of the "Kinabalu guerrillas".
