LABUAN: The organiser of the world famous beer festival – Octoberfest – is not holding it this time around because of “unfriendly business policies” imposed on the island since becoming a Federal Territory and which have been getting worse each time.
“We received numerous inquiries including from expatriates in Brunei about the festival but have to disappoint them because we are uncertain if it would be as successful as before,” said event organiser Arthur Kong.
