'Four cans of beer only' law could worsen LabuanFT's struggling economy, says G_Kitingan
"Labuan's duty-free status is a vital catalyst for tourism and local commerce. Abrupt regulatory changes, like limiting tourists to just four cans of beer, could potentially jeopardise the island's economy," said Jeffrey in a statement. "While the Federal Government's role is to safeguard and advance Labuan's economy, as public servants, we are obliged to voice our concerns over potential errors or opportunities for improvement.
"In Parliament, I have discussed these issues, championing for equitable and inclusive economic decision-making processes that consider the unique circumstances of each region.
