It has taken us awhile, but finally we are back, and with the aim to serve and entertain you better. First of all, we would like to thank you all for the support and suggestions you've given us during the past year. In our opinion, e-borneo.com couldn't function as well as it does without you. We encourage you to continue sending your feedback and contribution during the coming year. We have many plans to improve the functionality of our service, as well as add new and relevant content for your surfing pleasure. These can only be done with your strong and continuous support. As for this e-newsletter, we sincerely wish to hear from you regarding the most suitable and interesting content for you. Tell us how our e-newsletter can be more informative, educational, and productive for you. The best suggestion will win a mystery gift and will be published in the next edition (see below for more details). ====================== 1. BORNEO EDITORIAL ====================== ***Abu Sayyaf and the US Travel Warning*** The recent kidnapping at Palawan island in the Philippines by the Abu Sayyaf has once again strike fear to the heart of Malaysians in Borneo, especially Sabah. It was only 13 months ago that a similar incident occured at Sipadan island, and several months later, another copycat abduction at Pandanan island. This has more or less killed off the revival process of the tourism industry in the Borneo region. The interesting thing to note here is that a month or two before the latest kidnapping saga, the US State Department issued a warning to Americans travelling to Malaysia Borneo because of potential of another Abu Sayyaf strike-out. The Malaysian government has vehemently protest against this warning. BUT, is it a coincident that this caution was issued just a month or so before the Palawan abduction? Did the US intelligence managed to decode vital Abu Sayyaf's kidnap plan conversations. If so, why did they not share it with the Malaysian or Philippines governments? Why was the warning only issued to US citizens and not citizens in this region? Aren't we entitle to know that someone in our neighbour's backyard is planning to go on another kidnapping spree? Or perhaps this US warning is merely a sheer coincidence. After all, the Malaysian states of Borneo and the sultanate kingdom of Brunei remain as peaceful and safe as before. Almost 99.0% of these three areas are still generally devoid of any catastrophic violence, civil unrest or untoward incidents. What do you think about this? Feel free to share your feelings on this editorial, or any other subject, at feedback@e-borneo.com.
