LABUAN: Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Dr Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has vowed to personally oppose any move to abolish or alter Labuan’s duty-free status, adding that the island should not be penalised because of the smuggling of such goods.
“Labuan’s duty-free status will be maintained and if there is any problem due to smuggling, the way to go about it is to improve law enforcement. It will be wrong to victimise the people of Labuan for something that is not their doing,” he said when opening the Labuan Umno meeting here yesterday.
