Kota Kinabalu: Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor said the issue of the Pala'u community’s demolished structures at the Tun Sakaran Marine Park will be brought up at a forthcoming State Security Committee meeting.
"We are very concerned about this matter. It is not that we don't sympathise, we do because they are also humans but the areas where they have built the structures are within the Marine Park," he said according to a statement.

“The security forces have raised their concerns and have advised that these are security-sensitive areas that could be used as transit point for cross-border crimes. We will discuss the best way forward including relocation of the Pala'u people."
Hajiji, who is also Chairman of the State Security Committee, was speaking during his working visit to the
Tourism, Culture and Environment Ministry at Wisma Tun Fuad Stephens, here.
