Labuan - Glorious Sunset
Read more
Glorious sunsets. That is the one thing a visitor would not fail to notice about Labuan. The 9km beach stretch from Batu Manikar Beach to Sg. Miri Beach won the Clean Beach Award from United Nation Environment Program at Pattaya, Thailand through the 2nd COBSEA Marine Litter Workshop and Clean Up Campaign 2008. The prestigious award is well-deserved as every morning municipal council workers can be seen hard at work cleaning the beach from any rubbish and debris.
From Batu Manikar Beach, drop by at Pohon Batu Beach where there are wooden stalls for fishermen to sell fresh seafood as soon as they are landed. Nearby was a sandy park laden with man-made obstacles, the Sudut Cabaran (Challenge Corner) suitable for team-building activities. There was also food stalls aplenty for sunset worshippers to assuage their thirst and hunger.
Further along was the gorgeous Pancur Hitam Beach. Casuarina trees aplenty stand in orderly rows, giving shade and a smidgeon of privacy to a courting couple who were enjoying the sunset together while leaning against their car. You will not feel like intruding into their intimate moment and so drove onwards. You will be passing the cosy and rustic Homestay of Kampung Sungai Labu that boasts of a great view of the beach.
A final point of interest was University Malaysia Sabah Kampus Labuan (UMSKAL) before made a slow drive back to Jalan Batu Manikar. By then the suns rays were at their most radiant, bathing the white-washed walls of the university in a warm golden glow.

MALAYSIA: LABUAN PLANS TO BE A MAJOR FINANCIAL CENTRE
English/Nat
Malaysia is in the final stages of turning a tropical island in the South China Sea into a major financial centre to rival the likes of Hong Kong and Singapore.
Labuan island - once a pirate's lair - is encouraging businesses to locate there with tax breaks as an incentive.
Labuan lies off the north-west coast of Borneo, near oil rich Brunei.
The island is only 92 km (60 miles) square and has a population of around 35-thousand.
Labuan was once a lair for pirates. In the 18th and 19th centuries, Labuan and the isles off its shores were infested with pirates, as the headstones in the city graveyard show.
Now the island has become a tax haven. In October 1990, the Malaysian government declared it an international offshore financial centre.
At the time, it had little more to offer but the promise of sun, sea, sand and palm trees. Now that is changing.
Hundreds of (m) millions of U-S dollars are being pumped into this sleepy backwater to transform it into a world-class financial centre to serve the growing financial markets of the Asia-Pacific.
A large office and shopping complex is nearing completion.
On a visit to the sparkling new financial park, Malaysia's deputy Prime Minister laid the last stone.
By offering companies incentives to set up on the island, the government has already managed to attract 41 of the world's leading banks.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
Ladies and gentlemen, today's ceremony marks a major step forward in the Malaysian government's strong commitment to transform Labuan into a premium offshore financial centre. The financial park complex is only the first of a series of integrated projects to be undertaken here.
SUPER CAPTION: Anwar Ibrahim, Deputy Prime Minister
As the smart money has moved in, Labuan has, almost overnight, acquired a new mosque, a new town square, a new hospital, new marina and new luxury hotel.
Telecommunication links have come too with giant satellite dishes angled skywards.
Major financial institutions are optimistic about the future.
SOUNDBITE: (English)
Now that we can boast of about 41 offshore banks in Labuan, seventeen of whom are in the top 25 in the world. This has contributed to us increasing Labuan's international presence, and that has lent a great deal of credibility to Labuan.
SUPER CAPTION: Nathaniel Savarimuthu, general manager Public Bank, Labuan
Some in the Asian business community have cast doubts about the viability of a financial island such as Labuan, but the government is determined that it will prove able to keep pace with the finest financial centres of the world. It confidently predicts that by 1997, the island will be the pearl of the South China Sea.
