KOTA KINABALU: Chinese tourists are happy with the safety and security level in Sabah, says the Consul General of China Huang Shifang here.
She said that based on a survey, feedback from the Chinese travellers, especially those who visited the east coast areas, showed that most of them were very much satisfied with the safety level. The visitors were also confident with the level of security, particularly with the Eastern Sabah Security Command (Esscom) in place.
“Congratulations and thank you Esscom for its ability to preserve peace and security in Eastern Sabah Security Zone (Esszone) areas,” she said when paying a courtesy call on Esscom commander Deputy Comm Victor Sanjos on Friday.
“High security level provides confidence to tourists and investors so that they are more likely to come to the state.”Huang is looking forward to a better working relationship between the consulate and Esscom in the future. DCP Sanjos said Esscom will always put the safety of people and tourists as top priority.
“We hope to not only enhance the existing relations and rapport with various agencies but also with the Tourism Ministry and Immigration Department for better data gathering on visitors to the east coast,” he said.
DCP Sanjos added that such data including information of the travellers’ movements could help Esscom better monitor and protect them. It could also assist the agency to respond to emergencies faster.
“Esscom and its partners will continue to remain vigilant in protecting the sovereignty of the state and nation,” he said.
