Sabah Deputy Chief Minister Bung Moktar Radin has described the move by local airline companies to increase flight fares, especially to Sabah and Sarawak during the festive season, as daylight robbery.

He said in a few weeks, Muslims will be celebrating Hari Raya Aidilfitri and Sabahans in the Peninsula would want to return home.

Sadly, he said, many would have to cancel their plans as they would not be able to afford the soaring airfares.
