In two separate incidents over the past month, tourists managed to catch transit flights at KKIA without getting their travel documents endorsed.
Sabah Chief Minister Mohd Shafie Apdal will get a clarification from the state Immigration Department over the issue of Chinese tourists “bypassing” documents inspection at the Immigration counters at Kota Kinabalu International Airport ."I will ask the Immigration Department to clarify what is really going on," he told reporters here today.

The first incident was reported on Dec 10 last year which saw four Chinese women arrested at Tawau Airport during passport inspection after the authorities found their travel documents devoid of Immigration Entry Stamp.All of them arrived from China at KKIA before flying out to Tawau.
