KOTA KINABALU: The authorities have remained tightlipped over claims that a kidnapping may have taken place in Tambisan waters off Lahad Datu. The Eastern Sabah Security Command (Esscom) have so far declined to comment on the details of the supposed incident. Rashid is however scheduled to give a press conference during his working visit to Lahad Datu tomorrow (Sunday) afternoon. The last kidnapping took place in Kinabatangan waters on Nov 5, where gunmen abducted an Indonesian fisherman from a fishing boat. On July 18, five Malaysians were abducted in Lahad Datu waters.
