Chamber: Budget a letdown for Labuan
Dahlif also lamented that the soaring unemployment rate in Labuan as recently reflected in 3,000 seeking jobs for 83 vaccines was not addressed in the new budget. But on the other more serious focus was placed in developing Pengerang in Johore to develop chemical industry and petrochemical hub.
LABUAN: The Labuan Chamber of Commerce and Industry described the Budget 2023 as “responsible and inclusive” but which brought no cheer to Labuan.

Its Chairman Datuk Dahlif Singh said there were expectations that the Island’s duty-free sparkle will be restored with tax-free tobacco allowed bit it was not the case.
