Labuan has been under an enhanced movement control order (EMCO) since May 26.
Locals feel that the move to order the Labuan Health Department to take down the bunting as it did not conform to local by-laws was not necessary, especially at this time when the nation is trying to stop the spread of Covid-19. It is against the government s efforts to battle the Covid-19 in all areas of the island, Labuan Chinese Chamber of Commerce president Datuk Wong Kii Yii said on Friday (May 28), adding that the bunting was to inform public that they were entering red zones.
Following the order to remove all bunting, LC said on Thursday that the Health Department was given a permit to put up 35 bunting, but many were placed at road intersections that could block the view of motorists.

LABUAN: The Government is urged to increase the frequency of the Menumbuk ferry service to the island or set up a new terminal in Membakut to improve ferry services pending realisation of the Labuan bridge project.

(pic) said both previous Barisan Nasional and Pakatan Harapan governments have been talking about the project for decades but no action.
“The implementation of the project is far away and the government should give a greater role to the ferry service,” he said.
Wong pointed out that since Labuan is now under the jurisdiction of the Perikatan Nasional Federal Government and Sabah is helmed by a PN ally, it should not be difficult to improve the ferry service for the meantime.
KOTA KINABALU: Labuan businesses are appealing to the government to put on hold plans to impose duties on tobacco products as it will further strangle the economy of the duty free island.
Stakeholders in the Federal Territory said that businesses have already been struggling for years now and the duty free status was the only draw left for tourists to come to the island, an international offshore financial centre.
“The imposition of duties on tobacco is going to hit both big and small businesses. The government must not rush into it.
“Businesses in Labuan have been slowing down over the years. Imposing duties on tobacco products will hit us further as many are already suffering from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, ” said Labuan Chinese Chamber of Commerce chairman Datuk Wong Kii Yii who wants the government to rethink its decision.
