Poll: The Penang ferry service is so poor; what should be done?
I hear morale among some Penang Port Sdn Bhd staff is at an all-time low as they face the prospect of further cuts in service on 1 January 2016. Commuters, especially those working odd hours and without private vehicles, are going to be left stranded. Those from the island intending to catch the 7.00am electric train from Butterworth to KL can forget about it as the first ferry from the island will only start at 6.30am and what about those who rely on the ferry to get to work in the morning. What is Penang Port Sdn Bhd thinking? Only of their profits?
Will the ministry of transport look into the privatisation agreement and see if there is any clause that allows for the privatisation agreement to be terminated or stiff penalties imposed for failure to provide essential services. Hope he won’t sing about having to pay compensation! Make this agreement public. The minister of transport himself should be held responsible for this scandalous state of affairs, and he should resign if he is unable to resolve this.
What they didn’t teach me at accountancy school…
Tonight, I need to meditate on this statement.
“But do not be confused. The account is in my name, but it is not like a personal account.”
Now, I’m thorougly confused!

Penang Hill cable cars: Where will the ground station be located?
There are three aspects to the proposed Penang Hill cable car system:
- The impact on the summit, which is already touching or surpassing its maximum carrying capacity of 10,000 people per day.
- The impact on the hill of building pylons and maintaining them, requiring some kind of new track up the hill perhaps.
- The impact around the ground station, especially the congestion.
107-74 vote for National Security Council Bill – the long night has begun
A dark day for democracy in Malaysia as power is concentrated in the hands of the prime minister and his cabal.
What is Najib trying to do?
He doesn’t answer the question about the RM2.6bn so-called ‘donation’; instead he gets Zahid to do answer in Parliament. In the end, Malaysians are no wiser. Talk about an anti-climax.
Shame! Penang Port does it again – ferry service to be slashed yet again
Not again! The privatised Penang Port Sdn Bhd couldn’t care less about the long-suffering commuters who use the ferry every day. Now, it wants to further reduce the number of ferries and slash operating hours, presumably so that it can concentrate on more lucrative activities elsewhere.
