Mak, who is also PBS Vice-President, added that the proposed Labuan-Menumbok bridge and the island’s development cannot be viewed in isolation.
Its Labuan Chief Datuk Peter Mak said among the important requirements of sound industrial growth were adequate and stable supply of utilities like power and water and the availability of good infrastructure, which includes the proposed bridge. He said this was why they could not agree with the views expressed by the Labuan Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry which opined the bridge was not necessary.
Dahlif also said the other disadvantage of the bridge was that it could reduce the Labuan Port to a secondary role, with businesses and firms choosing to transport shipments between Kota Kinabalu and Labuan using the bridge. Mak, however, disagreed, saying they believed the contrary as the proposed bridge would complement rather than being a competitor to the island’s existing modes of air and sea transportation. “This will augur well for the overall benefit of the people of Labuan.
