LABUAN, Feb 19 — The construction of a bridge linking Labuan and mainland Sabah will not only enhance connectivity and trading, but also provide cost-savings for travellers.
Concurring with the Parti Bersatu Sabah Labuan division head and the party’s vice president Datuk Peter Mak, he said the bridge would complement other existing modes of transportation between the two areas, especially air transport which is beyond the reach of many, particularly the lower income group.
According to him, another point to consider is the wider market available to Labuan once the Pan Borneo Highway is completed. In a statement on Saturday, Mak said Labuan needs a bridge linking it to mainland Sabah in order for the offshore financial island to grow and realise its true potential.
