Labuan

Flat, wooded island off northwest Borneo, a Federal Territory of East Malaysia; area 100 sq km/39 sq mi; population (2000 est) 70,500. Its chief town and port is Victoria, which lies on the southeastern coast. Victoria's sheltered harbour also serves Brunei, northern Sarawak, and western Sabah.
