LABUAN: The Labuan Chinese Chamber of Commerce hopes the federal Ministry of Finance (MoF) will restore the island’s legendary privilege of duty-free cigarettes which was revoked under the national 2021 Budget.
Its Chairman Datuk Wong Kii Yii said the effects of the removal of the special privilege are being severely felt by the local economy, particularly the tourism industry, because there has been no suitable replacement for the attraction loss.
