It was published three times last year.

Sabah in the east of Malaysia is bordered by Indonesia in the south and the Philippines in the east. In recent years, there have been many incidents in Sabah, such as the Philippine rebels taking hostages and shooting foreigners. Last year alone, the Consulate General of China in Kuching issued at least three travel warning notices in Sabah.

In February last year, more than 100 supporters of Sulu descendants who claimed to be "Royal Security Forces of Sulu Dynasty" entered Sabah from the Philippines with weapons, claimed their ancestral land from Malaysia and confronted Malaysian police. On March 6, 20 13, the Consulate General issued a safety warning to remind China tourists to pay attention to safety.

On April 2013 18, the Consulate General of China in Kuching once again reminded China citizens who planned to go to Sabah that Ma Jun (Weibo)' s actions in Nadu, Douhu and Semporna were not completely over. It is suggested that China citizens who travel to the above-mentioned areas should raise their awareness of safety precautions and arrange their trips through regular travel agencies to avoid going out alone or going to inaccessible areas and remote islands.
