‘Offer bigger prize money for Labuan game fishing’
Suhaili recalled that during his term us Chairman of Labuan Corporation from 2001 to 2009, the cash prize offered totalled to about RM80,000 with the top winner pocketing RM25,000 and runner-up RM10,000 and RM8, 000 and in additional to this, there was also bonus prizes for the heaviest catch. Some fish weighting over 60kg were landed during the tournament.
LABUAN: Member of Parliament Datuk Suhaili Abdul Rahman said that the prize money for the 25th Labuan International Deep Sea Fishing Tournament should have “been better” than before so that the event would remain world-recognised as a premier competition.

He said deep sea fishing is a star event of the annual sic-day Labuan International Sea Challenge if the offered purse was mouth-watering.
