Tourism players welcome easing of restrictions in eastern Sabah waters

KOTA KINABALU: After almost a decade of dusk-to-dawn curfew in waters of eastern Sabah, it is timely to ease restriction on some areas such as Tawau, said Sabah Association of Tour and Travel Agents (Satta) chairman Datuk Seri Winston Liaw.

He said this was because the threat from the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG), in the Philippines had reduced over the last few years.
