SANDAKAN: Chief Minister Datuk Seri Panglima Shafie Apdal has challenged the people of Sandakan to keep Sandakan town, its environment and public toilets clean, in effort to boost the tourism industry here.

“If our tourism places are polluted and not clean because of our irresponsibility, surely the government’s effort to make the tourism sector as one of our main sources of income would fail, thus hindering the government’s plan to grow the economy of Sabah.
