THE east coast of Sabah’s economic and investment sector is still affected by the Lahad Datu incident more than a decade ago, former Sabah chief minister Yong Teck Lee said.
He noted that investors, especially from Japan and South Korea, were not allowed to enter certain areas due to travel advisories issued by their countries, adding that as Palm Oil Industrial Cluster (POIC) Sabah Sdn Bhd chairman, he had seen the advisories classifying the region a black area.
