码头改善添新设备 交怡客船或调整收费
码头改善添新设备 交怡客船或调整收费
浮罗交怡瓜镇客船码头改善工程明年竣工后， 以新面貌迎人。
浮罗交怡瓜镇客船船码头改善工程于明年9月竣工，吉打政府将在换上新貌的码头，增设自动闸门验票及行李托运系统，届时，客船收费将重新调整。
掌管吉州教育、交通及公共工程委员会的行政议员拿督达祖乌鲁斯今天在州议会说，客船码头改善涉及瓜镇、吉打港口及玻璃市港口3个码头。
他说，吉州政府寻求中央拨款8万令吉拨款，供改善吉打港口客船码头用途，预料明年获批准。另外，由市政厅私营化6层楼停车场工程，将列入改善该码头综合发展计划。
采用自动闸门验票
他指出，采用自动闸门验票及行李委托监控系统，乘客必须凭票根出入闸，而搭客携带行李在闸门登记处交由负责操作员处理，惟托运行李有重量及体积的限制。
他说，州政府仿效香港來往返澳门客船的码头操作系统，配置自动闸门系统管理，乘客出入闸有自动识别。至于行李托运系统沿用机场航空站服务概念，乘客只需付一次费用。
达祖乌鲁斯在吉州立法议会答复瓜镇州议员诺赛迪的提询时，这么说。
他表示，客船码头及设施改善项目，包括客船及乘客安全措施，并确保值勤船员具备作业的资格。
提及瓜镇码头拥挤及停车位不足的问题，他表示，驾车人士驶入码头范围是引发交通阻塞的导因，他将召集一项特别研讨会，寻求解决岛上交通的方案。
他说，目前，除了瓜镇客船码头及位于丹绒林蒙的车辆船运码头之外，吉州政府无意在交怡岛兴建新码头。

Border crossing continues
Border crossing continues
IT is business as usual for southern Thai-bound tour bus and van operators as they are still allowed to ferry passengers beyond the Malaysia-Thai border here.
This was despite earlier reports that tour buses and vans from Malaysia and Singapore would be banned from crossing over to southern Thai, while tourists would be forced to board its local tour buses to continue their journey.
Checks at the Dannok-Bukit Kayu Hitam border recently showed the buses and vans were still allowed to transport passengers into the south of Thailand.
Long queue of buses and vans could be seen at the border gate as early as 6am.
One of the drivers, Mohd Jamil Bidin, 42, said he was not aware of the ruling which took effect on Aug 1.
Tour bus and van operators from Malaysia and Singapore are not allowed to cross into Thailand.
However, Jamil said until now, they were still allowed to transport passengers from Malaysia to the neighbouring countries without restriction as long as all persons on board had valid travel documents.
“I am not aware of this new ruling where tourists have to switch to Thai public transports.
“None of the authorities in Thailand have said anything about this and we are operating as usual for now,” he said when met at Customs, Immigration and Quarantine Complex here.
Another driver, who only wished to be identified as Seng, said he was also unaware of such a ruling.
He expressed his concern that the drivers’ income would be affected if the Thai authorities decided to disallow Malaysian or Singaporean tour buses from entering the country.
“Our trip would be cut by almost half and most likely our income will be affected,” he said.
Seng also fears that such a ruling would lead to the drop in the number of Malaysian tourists travelling to Thailand by bus.
Meanwhile, a Penangite, who travels to Hat Yai for work every fortnight, said the ruling would be troublesome for tourists.
“Having to switch buses at the border will be such a hassle, especially for those travelling with young children or with lots of baggage,” she said.
It was reported that the ruling was a retaliation against the Malaysian authorities move to ban tour vans from Thailand to transport passengers beyond two kilometres of the border to protect local public transport operators.
Meanwhile, a source from the Malaysian consulate in Songkhla said the office had yet to receive any written notice on the new ruling from the Thai government.
According to him, if indeed such a ruling was passed the Thai government would have issued a notice to the consulate and given ample time for its implementation.
“This is news to me. We have not been informed on the new ruling nor have we received any written notice from the Thai authorities,” said the source.
“The enforcement would have not taken place without prior notice as it will have a negative effect on tourism in Thailand,” he added.

景点特色获吉政府认可 三圣文化村列旅游日历
莫哈末拉威（右三） 主持开幕礼后， 承认三圣文化村为吉州新旅游景区。
经营逾2年的三圣慈善福利中心文化村旅游景区获掌管吉打州旅游事务的行政议员拿督莫哈末拉威认可，成为吉州官方承认的新崛起旅游景点，且将列入吉州2015年旅游日历内。
由三圣慈善福利中心一手打造的文化村，除了享誉“三圣小中国”景色外，也增添其他融合大马三大民族文化特色的景点，让旅客一览无遗。
融合三大民族文化特色
莫哈末拉威今午为该文化村主持开幕礼上，也宣布拨款1万令吉，以提升该景点设备，同时也将亲自种植20棵竹树，可遮阴挡雨。
他说，这是他二度前来该文化村，但每次都有不一样的惊喜，他也赞赏理事们的付出和努力，才成功打造区内唯一富有浓厚中华文化的旅游区。
另外，他说，州政府在获得私人界投资600万令吉下，将重塑吉打河畔丹绒查理为新景区，同时也将在沿河一带，包括从安南武吉河至吉打河，及丹绒查理河畔至安邦惹惹安装灯笼照亮。
位于米都丹绒孟达哈拉路太子园的三圣文化村，每天上午10时30时至晚上，免费开放让游客参观，而中心理事也将安排义务导游为游客讲解每个景物。
除了设有中国风的景色外，也增设了茶坊、吉州各族美食介绍、酒坊等，同时也有孔子亭、月老亭、老子苑、招财童子、招财吉祥龟、佛陀像、兵马俑、财神“椰”、中国式小桥、开运桥、小池塘、药草小院子等。
锺来福赞赏中心理事 打造古早味旅游景点
吉打州华人大会堂会长拿督锺来福赞赏三圣慈善福利中心理事们，在有限资金下，却打造初最古早味的旅游景点。
也是该中心顾问的他希望州政府可拨款，资助该中心提升文化村景点，吸引更多旅客前来观光。
他也吁请区内各华团组织，踊跃参与9月7日，由吉华堂举办，州政府拨款10万令吉的中秋节嘉年华会，且也让友族参与，互相交流各族间习俗和文化。
“于达鲁阿曼体育场举办的嘉年华，当晚也将进行提灯笼游行，欢迎各界人士参与。”
此外，大会主席蔡崇扬认为，具有文化特色的旅游景点，将崛起成为国内外旅客旅游的卖点，而三圣文化村集合大马多元文化和种族的特点，相信可吸引外州旅客到此观光。
出席者有民政党吉打州主席拿督谢顺海、副主席拿督庄文财、三圣慈善中心顾问蔡柏池、总务冯富光等。

美化丹绒查里及安南武吉河畔 设水上餐厅游船河服务
吉州美化丹绒查里及安南武吉河畔 设水上餐厅游船河服务
靠近唐人街的美丽河畔， 丹绒查里有待发展为吉打州旅游注入新气息。
吉打州政府计划把美化丹绒查里及安南武吉河畔，以发展成为州内新的旅游景点，包括在靠近唐人街的丹绒查里河畔设立水上餐厅和水上市场。
掌管吉州旅游事务委员会的行政议员拿督莫哈末拉威说，州政府准备拨款600万令吉，分别在丹绒查里河设立水上餐厅和水上市场，至于安南武吉河的吉打河则提供浏览河景服务，游客将有机会在吉打河及安南武吉河沿岸观赏红树木及美景。
他说，这是州政府在最近召开的州行政议会会议中通过的决定，并委任一家私人公司推行有关计划。
“我们将要求旅游部拨下些款项，装饰与美化沿岸的住屋，以保留传统马来屋的美感和特色，让游客在欣赏河景的当儿，也能看到传统家园的生活情景。”
“我们将建立2座水上餐厅，而丹绒查里瞭望台将改建为餐厅，让游客能观赏亚罗士打的美丽市容。”
他说，州政府也将与有关方面合作，在吉打河主办水上运动，以通过此活动向世界促销上述河畔景点。一旦新的旅游产品落实，助于带动当地居民的经济及各项商业活动，包括住宿和餐饮业。
