Four more ETS services for CNY
Four more ETS services for CNY
KTMB will add four more ETS services for the Chinese New Year holidays, says Transport Minister Anthony Loke.
He said the Cabinet has approved the use of new ETS train sets to run additional services from Jan 20 to 24 for north-bound destinations from KL Sentral to Butterworth, as well as from KL Sentral to Padang Besar.
Likewise, additional services will also run from Jan 27 to 31.
These additional services offer 12,480 seats, which includes 1,440 business class seats.
Tickets for these additional services for CNY will be sold beginning today.
For more information, visit www.ktmb.com.my.
Loke made the announcement after visiting the railway yard here owned by Dhaya Maju Infrastructure (Asia) Sdn Bhd (DMIA).
He was there along with Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad, who made his maiden visit to this facility that supports the rehabilitation of KTMB’s Klang Valley Double Track undertaken jointly by DMIA and Lembaga Tabung Angkatan Tentera.
Dr Mahathir expressed satisfaction with what he saw and said that Malaysians must learn to undertake more complex engineering and construction challenges, even if it seems more costly at the beginning.
“I don’t care so much about the savings, but we can’t keep on importing from others.
“We must learn and we have to pay the costs. Initially, it won’t be so good, but ultimately we will reach the standard of other countries.
“If we keep on buying, we will never develop this country,” said Dr Mahathir.
In the Asean region, only Malaysia is operating electrified inter-city train services.

Upset over long walk ...
Upset over long walk ...
Commuters at Penang Sentral are upset over what they described as poor accessibility at the public transport hub here.
The most frequent complaint theSun heard when talking to them was the distance from the ferry terminal to the bus station and vice-versa.
Complaints also included concerns over accessibility for the elderly as well as the mobility impaired.
Polytechnic student S. Charand, 19, said the stairs were steep which made the walk difficult if he was carrying books or groceries.
He also voiced his worries for older commuters, handicapped persons and pregnant women who had to walk the steep flight of stairs.
"The management should do their part by raising awareness of the shuttle service which is scheduled every 15 minutes," he added when asked about improvements he liked to see.
Clerk Aishah Yaakob, 25, meanwhile was unhappy over how far she had to walk to get to the buses from the ferry and the other way around.
Although the shaded path is about 500m, she expressed her hope the management can address the issue to make the walk more bearable adding that more lighting during evenings can help matters.
Her sister, customer service agent Amira Yaakob, 19, expressed similar sentiments and claimed the van used for the shuttle service was not handicap friendly.
A tourist, G. Julien, 38, said he was fine with the stairs but agreed that those who were not so mobile or who were carrying luggage will find the going difficult.
A Rela official told theSun they were deployed to assist commuters who were experiencing difficulties.
"We work in shifts, two Rela officers are on standby 24 hours a day to help people," he said.
The integrated transport and logistic hubs which will integrate rail, ferry and land transport on a 9.7ha site in Butterworth is currently in its first phase of construction and expected to be completed in 2017.
When contacted, Seberang Prai Municipal Council councillor Dr. Tiun Ling Ta urged for patience and said facilities for the handicapped and elderly will be in place when the hub is ready.
"We have to be patient, I think all the necessary features for easy accessibility will be available when the hub is completed," he added.

More room for ferry passengers
More room for ferry passengers
PENANG Port Sdn Bhd (PPSB) has converted part of a ferry’s top portion, which was originally used to transport cars, to accommodate passengers.
Its chief executive officer Datuk Ahmad Ibnihajar said the conversion of the ferry was an addition to the three passenger ferries.
“A total of 120 passengers can be seated in the converted area while the two rows next to it can still cater to cars.
“This way, more people can take the ferries but the conversion also sees a loss of about RM150 for every trip as each floor can originally take up to 32 cars but that has been halved,” he said after distributing the Jalur Gemilang to ferry passengers at the Weld Quay ferry terminal yesterday.
Each round trip for cars costs RM7.70 while passengers pay RM1.20.
Ahmad also said depending on the demand, PPSB will consider adding extra ferries during the Hari Raya festive season.
“On normal days, there are only an average of 3,000 passengers but on festive seasons, the number can rise to 6,000.
“The ferry service is the second choice for motorists if the Penang Bridge is jammed. We currently have eight ferries,” he said.
PPSB ferry head Fisnol Mahmud, who was also present, said the converted ferry started operation on Monday.

End of the line for train stop
End of the line for train stop
The 44-year-old Butterworth Railway Station will soon be pulled down to make way for a multi-million-ringgit state-of-the-art replacement.
The old station was officially closed on Aug 5 and is now replaced with a temporary station located about 30m away, next to the KTM Bhd (KTMB) parcel office.
When contacted in Kuala Lumpur, KTMB corporate communications senior manager Mohd Fazil Ismail said the new building was expected to be completed by first quarter of next year.
“The new station will be equipped with CCTV cameras for better security as well as facilities for the disabled.
“Construction work on the new station will go in tandem with the Ipoh-Padang Besar electrified double track project, which is expected to be ready by 2014,” he said yesterday.
The old station, which was opened by the country’s fourth Yang di-Pertuan Agong, the late Tuanku Ismail Nasiruddin Shah ibni Al-Marhum Sultan Zainal Abidin, in 1967, is also the only station in Malaysia with a 0km distance meter.
The 0km distance meter indicates that this is the beginning of the rail distance calculation for trains that head north for Padang Besar and south for Singapore.
An employee at the station said two cranes were used to shift a 1936 steam engine locomotive and a shunting locomotive head from the station’s old entrance to the opposite of the temporary station.
The fully air-conditioned temporary station has a ticketing counter, two VIP rooms, a room for the stationmaster, police beat, surau and toilets.
Commuter Teoh Teik Wah, 60, said he was surprised to find the old station closed, noting that there was no prior notice about it in the media.
His wife Lee Kan Sean, 67, said she had been taking the train to visit her family in Kuala Lumpur for the past 50 years, noting that the old station evoked a nostalgic feeling in her.
Factory supervisor L. Munusamy, 48, said he waited outside the old station for almost an hour on Sunday night to fetch his relatives, only to find out later that they had arrived at the temporary station.
“The new platform at the temporary station is barely 4m-wide which is almost half the size of the old platform.
“Although it has a high aluminium roofing, part of platform is wet whenever there is a heavy downpour,” he said.
Money changer-cum-book stall operator Mohamed Sirajuddin Abu Mohd, 38, said many passengers complained of having to walk in the rain and sun for nearly 30m between the sheltered overhead pedestrian bridge outside the old station and the temporary station.
“Car parking facilities are also inadequate as the parking area outside the station has become smaller following land acquisition for the new station project.
“I spent about RM40,000 to construct a temporary shop outside the station, which was completed in June,” he said, adding that he still had to pay rental to KTMB for the temporary trading site.

Row over alternative route that avoids toll charges
Row over alternative route that avoids toll charges
AN opposition assemblyman traded barbs with state exco member Lim Hock Seng over the need for alternative roads so that motorists need not pay toll at the Sungai Nyior toll plaza in Butterworth.
Datuk Arif Shah Omar Shah (BN-Seberang Jaya) said the state had ‘hoodwinked’ the people by claiming that the newly opened road connecting Jalan Bagan 29 and Jalan Siram was a solution to the predicament.
“This new road stretch has nothing to do with the Sungai Nyior toll and the road is located far from Seberang Jaya town.
“The state should instead construct a pair road parallel to the Sungai Nyior toll-stretch,” he interjected when Lim presented his winding-up speech at the state assembly yesterday.
Friends again: Lim sharing a light moment with Arif Shah during tea break after exchanging barbs at the Penang State Assembly
Lim said according to the agreement with the highway’s concession holder, the state could be sued if there were any ‘traffic leakages’ along the stretch that affected the company’s toll collection.
“The Seberang Jaya assemblyman is a good actor, because during the height of the Sungai Nyior toll issue, he brought supporters to protest toll collection there,” he said.
Arif Shah admitted he objected to the toll collection, adding that if it were not for him, the toll would not have been lowered from RM3 to 50 sen.
“I initially pressed for the toll to be merely 20 sen and was even labelled a crazy elected representative for that.
“But, I was bold enough to ask for 20 sen and at least it was reduced to 50 sen,” he said.
Lim said the 50 sen toll was merely an initial amount, which would be increased after three years.
To avoid paying toll at the Sungai Nyior toll plaza, he said, a new road could be connected between Jalan Bagan 29 in Taman Bagan and Jalan Jelawat in Seberang Jaya.
“However, this stretch may not materialise if the Sungai Nyior toll concession holder objects to it,” he said.
Lim said another alternative road between Jalan Permatang Pauh and Jalan Tenggiri as previously suggested by former Chief Minister Tan Sri Dr Koh Tsu Koon, was also not viable, as motorists could use the current stretch near Mak Mandin to travel between Butterworth and Seberang Jaya.

Ferries and terminals need makeover
Ferries and terminals need makeover
THE Penang ferry terminals and the ferries need a facelift.
The trouble is those who can do something about this probably cross the channel in their cars and don’t see the ugly side of it. Those on the receiving end of the unpleasant sights and poor service are the foot passengers.
The Weld Quay overhead bridge, the taxi area, the ugly stalls and the walkways on both sides need a major makeover.
Perhaps, there is a need to install escalators on both sides of the ferry terminal.
The only escalator on the Butterworth side is always breaking down. The waiting areas at both sides also need better seats and fans.
The ferries also need to be clean. At times, the windows are smeared with bird droppings. I’ve noticed that the ferry sides, ceilings and seat areas are also dirty.
The Penang Hill railway and the ferry service are unique to Penang. They need to be properly maintained at all times. Please start now.
