Labuan and Felda bitter lessons for Sabahans: DAP

Kota Kinabalu: Sabah DAP reminded the GRS State Government that Sabahans are still bitter about losing Labuan which was declared a Federal Territory in 1984 and 200,000 acres in Lahad Datu to Felda, both during the Berjaya administration.  

“Sabahans had experienced two major bitter incidents of giving away state land to Federal. What have Sabahans gained out of these land transactions?” asked DAP Kota Kinabalu MP Chan Foong Hin (pic).
