LABUAN: Chambers of commerce here are alarmed over the Unity Government’s measures for the island’s struggling economy despite claims of doing its best.

“There is a case of someone who purchased a crate (24 cans) and wanted to bring it back via the ferry terminal to the mainland for a family event and was taxed RM105 for the extra 20 cans.
