KOTA KINABALU: Datuk Lee Chong Wei wants to be a genuine tourism ambassador to Sabah with all the knowledge of what the Land Below the Wind can offer visitors at his fingertips. “I must work hard and learn a lot of things about Sabah, and not just put a name (as the ambassador) and do nothing. I want to bring my family to Sabah and I hope the Covid-19 situation will improve so that I can do this,” he said. While he was happy to be chosen as the tourism ambassador, he hopes Sabahans would not continue being unhappy about it, because Sabah is part of Malaysia and "We are all Malaysians". Sabah Tourism Board (STB) chief executive officer Noredah Othman said having Lee as ambassador is not a question of him riding on Sabah’s popularity but rather Sabah riding on his fame.
