No Federal Territories Ministry not a Labuan downgrade
Simsudin said: “The correct perspective is that now Labuan together with the two other Federal Territories namely Kuala Lumpur and Putrajaya is under Deputy Prime Minister 1 Datuk Seri Zahid Hamidi who is also the Minister of Rural and Regional Development.
LABUAN: The new Pakatan Harapan government not having a Federal Territories Ministry should not be viewed negatively because the status of Federal Territories has instead been elevated with a Deputy Prime Minister in charge of the affairs.

PKR Chairman here Simsudin Sidek said this in reaction to concern expressed by some quarters that without a specific ministry responsible for Labuan, the island was sidelined by the new government.
