PKR in favour of Labuan bridge

Labuan: Parti Keadilan Rakyat (PKR),vice-president Nurul Izzah Anwar said it favours the long-standing Labuan-Menumbok bridge proposal as it is a safe, secure and efficient form of connectivity for people from both the island and mainland Sabah."When we are using that route ( Labuan-Menumbok bridge), it makes so much sense to ease transportation to ensure the locals here can frequent neighbouring areas in a safe, secure and efficient way.

"And I believe this could be a focus for the government of the day, but of course it is subject to many other studies and deliberations," she said.

She said being a Member of Parliament of another constituency does not mean one should be ignorant to the aspirations of citizens in other parliamentary constituencies.

"As this issue falls under the ambit of the Federal Territories Ministry, I will be writing to Khalid Samad in regards to the need to realise the bridge, in whatever capacity.

Nurul Izzah said she and her group were glad to take the speedboat from Menumbok to Labuan, as it provides some depth to them when they came to the island.
