“We already have the infrastructure ready, but there are no international flights. We have a lot of potential here but the nearest flight is Kuala Lumpur, three hours away,” she told reporters after launching the 13th Borneo Bird Festival here. “At the moment we are looking at Singapore and Hong Kong among others but this is still in discussion,” she said.
“We want to continue supporting such local community efforts, especially those that put focus on Sabah’s attractions. We are very thankful for these niche markets and we think the local community should capitalise on it,” she said.
