KOTA KINABALU: Despite the fact that there are already many Indonesians in Sabah, Minister of Tourism, Culture and Environmental Datuk Masidi Manjun still welcomed Indonesians to Sabah with open arms.

Masidi who had just returned from his 3-day official visit to Jakarta assured that Indonesian tourists would not be affected by the operation to flush out illegal immigrants in Sabah which will be launched very soon.
