Stop charging Tanjung Aru visitors RM20 to sit and watch sunset, says consumer group


KOTA KINABALU: The practice of some hawkers charging RM20 just for visitors to sit at a table and watch the famed Tanjung Aru beach sunset should be stopped immediately, says the National Consumer Foundation (NCF).

Amid a social media storm over the charges, NCF Sabah chairman David Chan said the move was tarnishing Sabah's image as it is seen as taking advantage of the tourists keen to take in the view every day.
