Labuan, Federal territory on Borneo island, Malaysia.

Labuan comprises seven islands located off northwestern Borneo in the South China Sea, with Victoria as its main administrative center.

The British Crown acquired Labuan from the Sultan of Brunei in 1846 to establish a naval base for controlling maritime activities.

The memorial cemetery in Victoria contains graves of Commonwealth and Allied soldiers from multiple nations who died during World War II.

The territory functions as an international offshore financial center with over 6,500 companies and 300 banking institutions operating under tax-free regulations.

The waters surrounding Labuan contain four shipwreck sites from World War II that divers can explore at depths between 30 to 40 meters.
