LABUAN: Labuan Indian Chamber of Commerce and Industry Chairman Datuk Dahlif Singh described the 13th Malaysia Plan (13MP) as a “super” cake offering something for every Malaysian state and territory but without anything special for Labuan.
He supported this observation based on items revealed in the 13th MP.
He said under 13 MP focus was given to the development of Special Tourism Investment Zones (STIZ) in Johore, Melaka, Negeri Sembilan and Sarawak for the creation on new tourism products to further tap the industry’s potential.
