KOTA KINABALU: Sabah paid tribute to its very own Prof Dr Justin Sentian, who became the first Malaysian to conduct research in Antarctica, the world’s iciest continent.

“What makes it even more special is that the Sabah flag (along with the Malaysian flag) was also flown in Antarctica,” said Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor.
