KOTA KINABALU: Sabah’s Chinese community leaders must not sell a prime piece of land in the heart of the city here that was given by the state government in 1997, says former chief minister Datuk Yong Teck Lee.

Yong, who facilitated the granting of the state land for building Wisma Tiong Hua in 1997 at a high political risk, said it was shocking for the Sabah United Chinese Chambers of Commerce (SUCCC) and the United Sabah Chinese Communities Association of Kota Kinabalu (USCCAKK) to decide to sell the land.
