Relocating ferry terminal best solution for Labuan with bridge plan shelved, says economist


KOTA KINABALU: Relocating the roll-on, roll-off (ro-ro) ferry terminal is the next best thing for Labuan after the government put plans for a bridge to mainland Sabah on the back burner, says a political economist.

Sabah Universiti Teknologi Mara’s Dr Firdausi Suffian said he agreed with the proposal by the Labuan Chamber of Commerce (LCC) to move the terminal from its present location in Labuan town to Tanjung Aru on the island.
