.LabuanFT-SabahInfo bridge will spur island’s economy, says ex-MP
Former Labuan MP Rozman Isli said it had been 39 years since Labuan was federalised but the development of the island was still “unsatisfactory” and “mediocre”. “By having the bridge, Labuan will have all of south-western Sabah, including the south interior of Sabah, as its hinterland.“They will look at Labuan as their urban centre for port and airport and as such, it will be a distribution point for imported products and an export hub for local products.
When the economy is revitalised then the need for the bridge will come naturally in order to connect Sabah and link up with the Pan Borneo highway and subsequently, to the new capital of Indonesia, Nusantara,” he said. Chin said for now, Labuan needed to have better air links to connect the island to Kota Kinabalu and Kuala Lumpur, as well as upgraded jetties to facilitate the movement of people and goods.
