KOTA KINABALU: Lahad Datu needs to rise above its “dark historical past” and focus on its vast tourism potential, says Datuk Joniston Bangkuai.
He said the district was affected by the 2013 intrusion by armed men from the Philippines in Kampung Tanduo, Felda Sahabat. The incident prompted some countries to issue security alerts to their citizens against visiting the state.
