DAP Sabah welcome the recent
announcement by Deputy Transport Minister Datuk Abdul Rahim Bakri that new
operator Juta Bonus would provide ferry service, which have finally effectively
ended the MONOPOLY of Labuan-Menumbok ferry service.
Junz Wong DAP Sabah state
assistant secretary said the announcement to approve additional license for
Ro-Ro ferry came as relief for the lorry operators as well as the people of
Labuan.
Junz praised both Ministry
of Transport and state Ministry of Infrastructure Development for acknowledging
the persistent complaints from the public highlighting the unreasonable charges
and the quality of the service provided, by coming up with a solution.
Deputy Transport Minister
Bakri said "With the competitor, there will be better service to the
people and we will monitor to ensure healthy competition between them."
"We have learnt that
Juta Bonus has commenced its operation and hopefully this new operator will
follow strictly to the prices approved by Ministry of Infrastructure
Development and this will effectively bring an end to the woes of Labuan people
and the lorry operators." Junz concluded.
Baguslah akhirnya masalah monopoly ini dapat ditangani dengan kehadiran Feri baru.

DeleteJoseph Pairin Kitingan has warned the operator of the sole roll on roll off ferry servicing Labuan Menumbok against increasing the fare to transport lorries. Pairin pointed out that as the operator had the transport monopoly, it should not take advantage and hike the fare.
ReplyDeletemacam mana sekalipun, feri2 ini hanya merupakan penyelesaian jangka pendek kepada keberkesanan sistem pengangkutan antara Labuan dan Menumbok.. bagi saya pembinaan jambatan tetap adalah yang terbaik untuk penyelesaian jangka panjang..
ReplyDeleteapa2pun, saya menyokong apa sahaja langkah kerajaan dalam memperbaiki sistem pengangkutan yang bertujuan menghubungan Labuan dan Menumbok..
