PETALING JAYA: There will be no Cuti-Cuti Malaysia in Sabah – for now – following the spike in Covid-19 cases in the state.

This is after four districts in Sabah – Lahad Datu, Tawau, Kunak and Semporna – have been placed under the targeted enhanced movement control order from Sept 29 to Oct 12.

“It is a setback for the tourism industry, which has been badly affected, but we hope this MCO will curtail the spread of Covid-19.Tan said the setback in Semporna would be greater as the district was seeing improvement in domestic tourism.“Potential holidaymakers will think twice to go to Sabah with the requirements to undergo swab tests and recommended quarantine, ” he said.

“From the feedback, people love Sabah for its fresh air, good food and friendly people, ” he said, adding that domestic tourism in Sabah had only begun to recover slowly. Tan added that the government should make it clear on the standard operating procedure for swab tests, quarantine and the necessary arrangements for travellers from Sabah.

“In view of this, we will reduce the frequency from two flights to only one flight per day from Kuala Lumpur to Tawau. “Therefore we have reduced our flight frequency from seven times weekly to three times weekly on Wednesday, Friday and Sunday until Oct 18, ” he added.

Forming coalitions after elections to become government is legitimate. Forming new coalitions by means of political frogging to bring down governments like what MuhyiddinYassin has done is illegitimate. skrg suda nmpk kan.. warisan laung anti lompat.. tp offer wang dan jawatan utk lompat.. apa suda cerita..? perwatakan warisan ni suda kita nmpk awa lagi..
