Hotel Labuan Sdn Bhd


Hotel Labuan Sdn Bhd - Labuan's Enigmatic Hotel

This hotel was empty and abandon since the company that ran the business has a dispute with the Labuan's municipal council. The case was reported in Hotel Labuan Sdn Bhd v Lembaga Pembangunan Labuan [1998] MLJU 65.The official reason it was closed is because the hotel was claimed not fit to be occupied.

Any law student can get the facts of the case and the outcome of it from the case report.

However, the public always wonder what will the local authority do about this hotel. The locals say that this hotel attracted a lot of patrons & guest way back in the early 90s because it offers meals & services that were cheaper than other hotels in Labuan. Some say it is a result of the volatile political dispute since the hotel was connected with a prominent political figure of Sabah who oppossed the Federal Government back then. So, if you are in Labuan, don't forget to take pictures of Labuan's own enigmatic hotel, Hotel Labuan.

I am not sure if the contacts below still works.
