LABUAN: Labuan Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Chairman Datuk Dahlif Singh described the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) as a “super” cake offering something for every Malaysian state and territory but without anything special for Labuan.
He supported this observation based on items revealed in the 13th MP.
He said under 13 MP focus was given to the development of Special Tourism Investment Zones (STIZ) in Johore, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan and Sarawak for the creation on new tourism products to further tap the industry’s potential.
“It’s unfortunate that Labuan has not been included in this radar though the island was in need of such focus to regain its past glory of regional shopping destination though Labuan now depended much on tourism now since the oil and gas sector as well as the financial services was delivering much impact,” said Dahlif.
