LABUAN: The Kadazandusun Chamber of Commerce and Industry Labuan says the “mass exodus” from the island during the on-going Hari Raya festivities is not proof that the proposed Labuan-Menumbok bridge will be a waste of taxpayers’ money.
KCCI Labuan Chairman Paul Ipoh Leokin said while it is undeniable that people were going out from the island, not forgetting those who did so to celebrate the occasion with their loved ones outside Labuan, by merely posting a photograph of a quiet road in town accompanied by quotes from a few parties may not be reflective of the actual situation on the ground.
“At the same time, merely stating the number of additional ferry trips is not an objective measurement to justify an ‘exodus’ without taking into account the outflow and inflow of people in order to know the actual outflow,” he said in a statement, Sunday.
