Cabotage Policy for Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan to be reviewed in June 2017

Sabah, Sarawak and the federal territory of Labuan will be exempted from cabotage policy starting June 2017 - by PM Dato Seri Najib Razak on 07 May 2017. 

Announcement by PM on the cabotage policy in Sandakan on May 7, 2017 last month was a good news to SABAHAN who about to rule out the current UMNO-BN Lead in SABAH. 

In a separate statement, Transport Minister Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai said the decision to exempt Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan from the cabotage policy proved the federal government’s efforts to improve the “liveability” of its people.  

The cabotage policy, implemented in the 1980s, required the transshipment of goods to first pass through Port Klang on the west coast of peninsular Malaysia.

Politicians and industry players have largely blamed the cabotage policy for higher prices in Borneo Malaysia compared to peninsular Malaysia and in recent years, have increasingly called for Putrajaya to abolish it.

However, after one month in waiting, there was no sign on the policy had reviewed despite promises and announcement made.
