Welcome To Our Blog's!!
As most of you guys are aware that Labuan is known as free duty island which means all alcohol, cigarette, car, chocolate are cheap compared to other states. Labuan is also a Federal territory and an International offshore financial centre. It is also becoming an oil and gas hub.
Please leave a comment when you visit our blogs. It's like visiting a place where there is a guest book by the front door. Before you exit, you sign it to leave a note about your experience of the place. If you are in a hurry (and who isn't these days?), just leave a "tweet," a few words will do it.
Thanks.
