玻璃市州myBAS开跑15路线9转站

myBAS开跑15路线9转站 玻市10年后重见公巴



沙柏里(左) 为新巴士服务主持启用礼。

myBAS巴士今日正式投入服务,服务中断将近10年的公共巴士恢复操作,新巴士穿梭玻璃市州各市镇,为居民带来交通便利。

原本在1个月前开跑,却因技术上问题无法符合陆路公共交通委员会条件需求而延展,如今终于获得该委员会发出通行准证予受委巴士公司。

掌管交通事务委员会主席的玻州行政议员拿督沙比里在加央巴士车总站主持启用礼后说,玻璃市是该巴士服务的试验性其中一州,希望顺利开跑,成为其他州属的典范。

他说,24辆巴士将穿梭州内15条路线,并设9个转站,分为加央市区内与郊外2个路线。

乐龄族半价

他说,乐龄人士的车票获得折扣50%,而学生、残疾人士与退休公务员也享有优惠价。

他说,由于业者无法承担成本,州内的巴士服务中断约10年,然而,中央政府通过陆路公共交通委员会,为各州提供系统化的市郊陆路公共交通服务,并减轻业者的操作成本。

“我们监督巴士按照行程表,依时到达目的地,时间准确,赢取乘客的信心,并在每6个月检讨巴士服务效率。”

他吁请玻州居民支持中央政府的政策,善用公共交通服务,减缓停车位不足问题。

周末提供游览旅游胜地行程

陆路公共交通委员会行动组北区主任诺哈诗琳达说,该巴士服务将在周末3天提供乘客游览旅游胜地行程,载送游客来往观光地,如加基武吉暗窿、巴东勿刹购物、旺吉辇及蛇园等。

各路线时间表从早上6时或7时起至晚上8时或9时。

Perlis govt looking at ways to save Putra Palace

Perlis govt looking at ways to save Putra Palace

THE Perlis government is studying several options to sustain Putra Palace Hotel, a subsidiary of the State Economic Development Corporation, including privatising it.

Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Azlan Man said to date, a number of parties have shown keen interest in taking over the hotel management.

However, Azlan stressed that the government had yet to decide on the privatisation move and would consider other options to further develop the hotel and make it profitable again, after suffering losses for the past years.

“The state government has limited expertise and capability in running businesses such as the hospitality sector.

“We need more professionals and experts in the related field to manage the hotel and bring it back to black,” he said at a press conference recently.

Citing an example, he said the decision to privatise the state government-owned Institusi Pengajian Tinggi Islam Perlis (IPTIPs) had yielded positive results although there were sceptics in the early stage.

Having said so, Azlan pointed out that it was important for the state administration to evaluate the options wisely.

“We want to make sure there is balance participation and close cooperation between both the government and private sector.

“As I said previously, the private sector played an equally important role in the state economic development,” he said.

The second series of the 2013 Audit Report revealed that Putra Palace Hotel’s pre-tax losses had risen by 205.3 per cent from RM530,000 in 2011 to RM1.16 million in 2012.

Floods hit more areas in Kedah

Floods hit more areas in Kedah

Several new areas in Kedah have been hit by floods, including Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Azizan Abdul Razak’s home at Jalan Sultanah here.

Azizan, who lives in the house with his wife Tok Puah Faekah Sheikh Hamzah and son Mohamad Azizan, 28, moved out from the house at about 11am yesterday after it was submerged in one metre of water.

Also flooded was the compound of the state police contingent at Jalan Stadium.

The number of evacuees in the state has increased to 40,212 as Taman Uda, Lorong Bayu, Taman PKNK and Taman Rakyat in Kota Setar were also hit by floods.

Azizan, when met after chairing a meeting with federal and state government agencies, said 140 relief centres had been opened in Kubang Pasu, Kota Setar, Pokok Sena and Padang Terap.

A National Security Council operations room spokesman said 100 evacuation centres were still open.

Meanwhile, the Langkawi Recreation Club and nine other non-governmental organisations have launched a flood relief fund for the state.

Club president Datuk Mansor Ismail said they hoped to collect as much as possible during the one-month fund-raising period until Dec 5, to be channelled to the flood victims.

In Kangar, the floods eased slightly yesterday morning, with 1,375 of 15,159 evacuees allowed to return home and 11 of the 55 evacuation centres closed.

But state Drainage and Irrigation Department director Nishad Mohamed Shaffy has warned about the possibility of a second wave of flooding.

He said if there was heavy rainfall in the next few days, the department might be forced to re-open the six floodgates at the Timah Tasoh dam.

The water level in Kangar had subsided significantly but several roads were still impassable to light vehicles.

Kangar still under water

Kangar still under water

Almost the entire town remains submerged with the number of evacuees continuing to rise.

Despite the rainfall having eased since Tuesday, the situation is still unmanageable with 90% of the state capital inundated.

A spokesman with the Perlis National Security Council said the state Drainage and Irrigation Department (DID) had no choice but to open up the six flood gates at the Timah Tasoh dam to release water and prevent its walls from collapsing.

He said there were now over 8,000 evacuees at 42 relief centres throughout the state. There were 26 such centres in Kangar, nine in Arau and seven in Padang Besar.

A total of 1,909 families had already sought refuge at these centres.

The official said all roads leading to Kangar and main roads in the state had been closed as a precautionary and safety measure.

Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Md Isa Sabu said the situation in Padang Besar had improved, but not in Kangar and Arau.

State DID director Nishad Mohamed Shaffy said the water level at the dam had dropped from 30.49m to 30m but was still above the danger level of 29.6m.

“It is drizzling in Padang Besar and Wang Kelian, but if it starts to rain moderately then the water level at the dam will rise again,” he said.

At the Universiti Teknologi Mara (UiTM) in Arau, some 8,000 students are expected to be in for more hardship if the floods do not ease.

The university management had to ration the current food supply to ensure there was enough stock to last for the next two days.

Over 700 teacher trainees at the Perlis Tea­chers’ Training College were stranded in their quarters’ as the water level rose to chest level.
