In response to Sarawak DAP Chairman YB Chong Chien Jen’s statement urging the Sarawak GPS government to address rising air ticket prices. SUPP Central Women Chairman and Political Secretary to YAB Premier Kho Teck Wan is curious as to why Chong chooses to issue press statements and post statements in social media instead of using the mandate given to him by the people to bring this concern to the parliament. She said Chong knows rightly that the authority to regulate and govern the transport industries which includes aviation is underRead More

许徳婉:火箭应将机票价格课题带上国会
人联党中央妇女主席兼砂首长政治秘书许德婉表示疑惑,为什么张健仁又一次选择发表文告和在社交媒体上发文,而不是利用人民赋予他的权力,将这一问题带到国会讨论。 她今日以文告方式回应砂行动党主席张健仁呼吁砂拉越GPS政府解决机票价格上涨的问题,如是称。 她表示,张健仁应当十分清楚,监管和管理包括航空在内的交通运输行业的权力属于联邦交通部的管辖范围。作为一名资深国会议员,并且在过去的20年里一直获得古晋和实旦宾选民的支持,我想知道张健仁到底在国会提出过多少次关于机票价格上涨的问题? 为此许德婉也质疑,为什么张健仁本末倒置的选择呼吁砂拉越GPS政府解决机票价格上涨问题,而不是与联邦交通部长、即行动党秘书长陆兆福讨论这一问题? 许德婉进一步说,砂拉越GPS政府已经通过iGPS计划,每年为来之砂拉越的全职IPTA和IPTS学生提供两次机票补贴。目前正在进行的收购马航旗下MASwings的计划,也是砂拉越GPS政府为了长期应对机票价格上涨而采取的另一项举措。 因此,我希望张健仁能够采取实际行动解决机票价格上涨的问题,既带上国会或直接与担任交通部长的该党秘书长协商,而不是把问题推给GPS政府,并通过新闻发表言论。 作为一名称职的国会议员应该以行动,真正意义上为解决砂民的机票价格高昂问题而努力,而不是纯粹以文告服务选民。
俞小珊:火箭当家不当权
人联党中央宣教秘书俞小珊认为张健仁日前说砂拉越政府正为收购航空公司的建议犹豫不决,导致砂人承担了马航减少航班一事相关后果的说法是带有严重误导性的。因为,总理已经不止一次公开表示砂拉越预计最迟可在今年杪完成接管飞翼航空,届时砂将拥有自家的航空公司。俞小珊质问,何来对收购航空公司的建议犹豫不决之说? 他说明,马航作为国库控股公司完全持有并管理的企业,而国库控股是由联邦政府全资拥有的。因此,交通部是完全有管控权的,如今人民必须承担因减少航班趟数而飙高的机票价格,这是交通部未能有效管控航空公司的结果。 砂政府接管飞翼航空正是为了长期解决航空公司为了盈利漫天开价的问题。为了避免这种情况发生,砂拉越有必要拥有自身管控的航空公司,方能略去必须通过与联邦政府协商这一道程序,自主自立制定机票价钱,无需求人。 另外,也是埔奕区议员兼美里市长俞小珊也已经第一时间致函马航美里区负责人,根据马航负责人的回复,美里机场只有少数往返美里与吉隆坡的班机被取消。 据了解,受影响的乘客将会收到关于航班取消的通知邮件。乘客将被建议更改航班时间表,不会产生额外费用。无法找到合适替代航班的乘客将获得全额退款。 尽管如此,俞小珊相信难免还是会有一些乘客无法避免的行程受到影响,为此,他也持续与马航负责人保持密切联系。因此他呼吁交通部必须跟进马航解决技术安全问题的进度,找出长期解决方案。 俞小珊也指出,张健仁的言论再一次体现出他与行动党中央领袖脱节了。这已不是张健仁第一次略过其中央领导作为相关部门部长的背景,呼吁砂盟施压联邦政府。 不久之前,张健仁呼吁砂政府为二手复新车辆进口准证只让土著公司提出申请一事向联邦政府施压。可是该项新政策却是由行动党副秘书长刘镇东担任副部长的联邦投资﹑贸易及工业部制定的。 如今张健仁再一次略过该党秘书长陆兆福担任部长的交通部公开呼吁砂政府为交通部的失职背书。由此可见,既然砂行动党国会议员当家不当权,毫无影响力可言,来届选举砂行动党也大可无需出战,砂民更无需再支持。
