Kota Kinabalu: Sabah Association of Tour and Travel Agents (Satta) Chairman Dato’ Seri Winston Liaw said he was speaking up to protect the interest of Sabahans to have a fair share of the state’s economy when commenting on the Jesselton Point Ferry Terminal operations recently.

“I am defending Sabahans and protecting their rights. Easybook is a platform company based in Penang. Are there no good platform companies in Sabah?“Sabah has platforms such as Sabah Pay, GoNet and others,” said Liaw.

He was responding to Suria Capital Holdings Berhad Group Managing Director Datuk Ng Kiat Min, who denied that the operations of the Jesselton Point Ferry Terminal had been transferred to Easybook.
