Cabotage Policy Must Go in Borneo States – Dr. Jeffrey

Kota Kinabalu:     “The National Export Council (NEC) which is scheduled to meet next month and discuss amongst other things, the cabotage policy, should state in no uncertain terms that the crippling and costs increasing cabotage policy for Sabah and Sarawak should be abolished” said Datuk Dr. Jeffrey Kitingan, STAR Sabah Chief and Bingkor Assemblyman in response to the disclosure by the Agriculture and Agro-Based Industry Minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Shabery Cheek that implementation of the cabotage policy was no longer practical, particularly involving export companies in Sabah, and will be discussed at next month’s meeting of the NEC.
