State Special Functions Minister Datuk Teo Chee Kang said this in response to Jeremy Malajad (Independent-Kadamaian), Datuk Abdul Rahim Ismail (BN-Pantai Manis) and Limus Jury (BN-Kuala Penyu), at the State Legislative Assembly today.

He said the government viewed the issue, sparked by a small irresponsible group, seriously.

If left unchecked, it could threaten national harmony and security, according to him.

Meanwhile, state Tourism, Culture and Environment assistant minister Datuk
Kamarlin Ombi said based on the federal Tourism and Culture Ministry’s report, the number of unlicensed tourist guides in Sabah is minimal.

“An unlicensed tourist guide could be fined up to RM7,000 or sentenced to up to two years’ imprisonment if found guilty,” he said in response to a question from Datuk Samsudin Yahya (BN-Sekong).

On permit compliance by tourist boat operators, Kamarlin said the licence is issued through the Port and Wharf Department and Marine Department, but the enforcement is done by the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency.– BERNAMA
