2013 Sulu intrusion still has negative impact


Not easily forgotten: Malaysian security forces under Esscom patrolling the beach of Tanjung Labian in Lahad Datu close to Kampung Tanduo where Sulu intruders landed on Feb 12, 2013.

KOTA KINABALU: The Sabah east coast region’s economic and investment sector is still affected by the incursion of Sulu terrorists and subsequent battle in Kampung Tanduo, Lahad Datu, more than a decade ago, says former chief minister Datuk Yong Teck Lee.

He said investors, especially from Japan and South Korea, were discouraged from entering certain areas due to travel advisories issued by their countries.
