State Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Christina Liew said it is up to the State Govt whether the Mazu (Goddess of the Sea) statue in Kudat, construction of which was halted midway 17 years ago, gets completed as wished by the people there.

“The matter is out of my hands. I have visited the site and met with locals. Some want construction to be expedited. Some, as they did previously, still oppose. I can only convey this matter to the State Cabinet for consideration and approval,” she said.On another matter, she said the outrageous flight prices imposed by airlines every holiday season would deter Sabah’s tourism industry. She said it would be better if airlines increased their flight frequencies instead.

“If we use the same number of flights, then what happens to the tourists? We have many domestic tourists who want to use the holidays as a chance to visit Sabah. “It’s a good time to come but the flight tickets are too expensive,” she said. Malaysian Aviation Commission in a recent statement told fliers to book their tickets early before the peak season and that prices were automated based on demand.
