Labuan-KK express ferry draws strong response after three-year hiatus
Zaliha (second right) welcomes express ferry passengers from Kota Kinabalu and promotes the Borneo Flora Festival (BFF) Labuan 2025 at the Labuan International Ferry Terminal on Sunday.-Bernama photo LABUAN: The Labuan-Kota Kinabalu express ferry service has seen a surge in passengers since resuming operations on May 27, following a three-year suspension. To date, more than 3,700 commuters have used the direct sea route, with each trip operating at full capacity of over 100 passengers. The revival of the service, linking the duty-free island to Sabah's capital, has been hailed by federal authorities as a much-needed boost to regional connectivity. Minister in the Prime Minister's Department (Federal Territories) Datuk Seri Dr Zaliha Mustafa described the ferry's return as a key development for Labuan's socio-economic growth. 'This express ferry is not just a transportation service — it is a vital connector for regional economic, social and development networks,' she said. Speaking to reporters at the Labuan International Ferry Terminal after welcoming passengers from Kota Kinabalu on Sunday, Dr Zaliha said the service facilitates community mobility, daily activities, and the transport of goods within local supply chains. She expressed satisfaction with the strong public reception, noting that the ferry is popular among a wide range of travellers commuting between the two cities. 'This route offers a more convenient and time-saving alternative to the roll-on/roll-off (Ro-Ro) ferry via Menumbok, especially for passengers without vehicles,' she said. While the Ro-Ro ferry is generally preferred for travel to nearby districts such as Menumbok, Kuala Penyu, or Beaufort, the express ferry provides a direct, faster option to Kota Kinabalu. Dr Zaliha also expressed hope that the operator would continue to enhance the service, including shortening travel time, to meet the growing demand.-Bernama

64% of commercial vehicle operators fail safety audit, says JPJ
JPJ director-general Aedy Fadly Ramli said some companies had no safety action plans in place and did not display hotline numbers or the names of responsible officers on their vehicles for public complaints. (Bernama pic) PETALING JAYA : The road transport department (JPJ) found that 64% of commercial vehicle operators failed an audit on mandatory safety requirements, in a recent nationwide operation. Its director-general Aedy Fadly Ramli said the operation, which began on June 23, saw audits carried out on 133 companies operating commercial vehicles, Bernama reported. He said only 48 companies passed the audit while the other 85 failed as they did not comply with JPJ Inspection and Safety Audit (Jisa) guidelines. 'The non-compliant companies comprised 43 lorry operators and 42 tour and express bus operators,' he was quoted as saying. Among the key violations were the failure to appoint occupational safety and health officers (OSHO), lack of GPS installation in all vehicles and poor GPS monitoring practices. Many companies also failed to record drivers' working hours, which must not exceed eight hours a day, and to ensure that drivers take a break of at least 30 minutes for every four hours of driving. Aedy said some companies had no safety action plans in place and did not display hotline numbers or the names of responsible officers on their vehicles for public complaints. 'The department will submit the list of non-compliant companies to the Land Public Transport Agency (Apad) for further action, including recommendations for possible suspension or cancellation of operating licences,' he said.
