Kissing incident mars Sabah's tourism reputation, says Liew

KOTA KINABALU: The incident of a freelance divemaster kissing a tourist is a dent to Sabah's tourism image as the industry begins to recover from the pandemic, says Datuk Christina Liew (pic).

"Incidents like this greatly affect the image of tourism in the Semporna district in particular, and Sabah in general, even more so as the tourism industry is recovering from the Covid-19 pandemic," said the state Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister in a statement Monday (May 8).
