Despite tourism billions, Sabah villages stuck with dilapidated bridges, says Kota Belud Umno chief


KOTA KINABALU: Sabah may be raking in billions from tourism, but some visitors’ hotspots in community villages are still relying on old, dilapidated wooden bridges, says Azuwan Marjan Norjan (pic).

The Kota Belud Umno chief noted that the state recorded RM2.13bil in tourism revenue between January and March this year alone, with nearly a million visitor arrivals in the first quarter, including over 150,000 from China.
