Kuala Lumpur: The Federal Territories Ministry has been urged to consider opening up the economic sector, particularly the shipping sector, in the Federal Territory of Labuan as it has achieved herd immunity to curb the spread of Covid-19.
At a press conference in Parliament building Wednesday, Kota Kinabalu MP Chan Foong Hin (pic) said the shipping sector is an important sector to supply essential goods to the community.
“Labuan has achieved herd immunity but the shipping sector there is still closed, hence foreign ships are not able to enter there.
Its Minister Tan Sri Annuar Musa (

He said the PKRCs were for Category One and Two Covid-19 patients in the area to undergo self-quarantine and avoid the increase in positive cases due to close contact among family members. Currently, those who test positive but are asymptomatic (Category One) or with mild symptoms (Category Two) are required to undergo self-quarantine at home. However, we find that most of them live in cramped and crowded houses, especially the B40 families in PPR and PA which are not conducive for the purpose, he said in a statement on Monday (July 26).

LABUAN: The Labuan Women’s Affairs Association said the government should subsidise the additional freight charges imposed on containers of consumer goods of ships from Port Kelang which a shipping company has decided to apply as “over-carry” surcharge amounting to RM3,000 per container due to apparent confusion on SOP by the Federal Territories Ministry.

“This is a matter of grave concern especially now that its impact will be on cost of living and consumers will suffer if forced to absorb this charge passed down to them,” said its chief Fauziah datuk Din
