SANDAKAN: Passenger boats, especially those operating from islands near mainland Sandakan city centre, are an important form of conveyance to meet the surge in transportation needs in conjunction with this Hari Raya Aidilfitri.

Boatman Aziz Tiding, 48, said boat operators from nearby islands have been busy ferrying passengers since last week to complete their preparations for this week’s Aidilfitri, besides islanders who make daily trips to the city centre for work and school.
