'Victoria' is the main town of the
Malaysian Federal Territory of
Labuan, an island off the north coast of
Borneo. However, the name is no longer used to refer to the town centre. The official name 'Bandar Labuan' (Labuan Town,
Jawi: بندر لابوان) is used instead. The Financial Park at Jalan Merdeka houses the international
offshore banks,
insurance and
trust companies. There is also a 1,500-seat capacity
convention hall and a large
shopping mall -- this modern complex is reputed to be the only one of its kind to be found in any
International Offshore Financial Centre in the world.
