LONDON: The government will revisit the issue of cabotage policy liberalisation in Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan following a thorough observation by the Ministry of Transport, said its minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook.

The cabotage policy in Malaysia, which began in 1980, was loosened by the previous administration on June 1, 2017, as most industry players opined that the policy was to blame for the higher prices of goods in East Malaysia due to shipping freight costs.
