Kota Kinabalu: Awareness on human trafficking is important for Sabah in preparation of the shift of Indonesia’s capital to Kalimantan.
“Due to Sabah’s geographical location, sharing borders with Indonesia and the Philippines, cross-border travel will become more fluid once Nusantara opens up, making Sabah vulnerable to cross-border migration and human trafficking activities,” said Richard T. Koh, Chief Research Officer of the Institute of Development Studies (IDS).
He said IDS would document and report the outcome of the talk to the State Government for further mitigation planning of the potential impact from Indonesia’s new capital relocation.
