says his ministry would look into the various issues plaguing industry players on the island.

“We understand Labuan’s economic situation, the ministry has never tried to sideline Labuan economically as the island is also one of the federal territories, and we will treat Labuan similarly to Putrajaya in terms of funding and future project development plans,” he said at a special meeting with Labuan’s business chambers coalition here Sunday.

The appointment of DAP’s Kota Kinabalu MP Chan Foong Hin as chairman of the Labuan Port Authority was also questioned by the Labuan chambers, who see his appointment as seemingly not in line with the government’s aspiration of seeing the port authority being run professionally. Khalid gave his assurance he would forward the issue to IWK for consideration so as to not hamper the island’s economic activity.
