Tambang bas sehala JB-KL naik hingga RM60



JOHOR BAHRU 7 Jun – Segelintir pengusaha bas ekspres di Terminal Bas Larkin di sini didakwa menaikkan tambang mereka melebihi 40 peratus dengan alasan kenaikan harga minyak.

Tindakan tersebut membebankan pengguna yang terpaksa membeli tiket yang mahal itu kerana tidak mempunyai pilihan lain.

Seorang pelajar, Farah Ishak, 16, berkata, dia membeli tiket bas untuk perjalanan dari Johor Bahru ke Shah Alam pada harga RM55 untuk perjalanan sehala berbanding harga RM30 sebelum ini.

“Terkejut juga saya sebab selalunya kalau tambang naik pun setakat RM5 sahaja tetapi kali ini ia naik sampai RM15 berbanding tambang asal,” katanya ketika ditemui di terminal itu hari ini.

Mingguan Malaysia juga difahamkan terdapat penumpang yang membeli tiket untuk perjalanan sehala dari Johor Bahru ke Kuala Lumpur dikenakan harga RM60 berbanding kadar biasa RM25.

Seorang lagi penumpang bas, Siti Norizan Sulaiman, 25, berkata, perbuatan menaikkan tambang secara sewenang-wenang itu dilakukan oleh pengusaha bas yang tidak takut kepada tindakan penguatkuasaan agensi kerajaan.

Pekerja kilang itu berkata, bagi pengguna yang menjadikan bas sebagai pengangkutan utama, mereka tidak mempunyai pilihan selain terpaksa membeli tiket pada harga yang ditawarkan.

“Kami tiada pilihan, mahu tidak mahu kami terpaksa membelinya walaupun mahal,” katanya.

Bagaimanapun, tinjauan juga mendapati terdapat beberapa pengusaha bas terutama yang mempunyai kaunter sah di terminal berkenaan masih mengekalkan kadar tambang sebelum kenaikan harga minyak 5 Jun lalu.

Seorang pelajar, Zahirah Abdul Ghani, 20, bersyukur kerana tiket bas yang dibelinya masih mengekalkan harga yang sama seperti sebelum ini.

Dia menggesa pihak berkuasa menjalankan langkah penguatkuasaan secara lebih tegas supaya pengguna tidak terus menjadi mangsa pihak tertentu yang mahu mengaut keuntungan berlebihan.

How To Live Fulfilled Life

One of the things that most of my coaching clients have in common is that they want to live a fulfilled life. After all, who really wants to live an unfulfilled life? So the question that you may have is How do I live a fulfilled life? Here are 3 keys to help you live the life that you want. 1. Know what you want out of life. Imagine that you were hungry and really wanted to eat. You go to a restaurant and when the waiter asked you what you want you said ‘I just want to be full so just bring me some food.’ A few minutes later they bring you out the most disgusting food you have ever seen. This is what it can be like in life as well. Just because you want to live a full life doesn’t mean you will. Only when you know exactly what you want out of life can you start to live a fulfilled life. 2. Actively pursue it. This may seem very obvious but just think about the things in your own life that you want but aren’t actively pursuing them. You may have all kinds of reasons, excuses, doubts, a...

Titanic's last survivor: Milvina Dean, 97

by Mary Rourke Millvina Dean, the last survivor of the Titanic, the ocean-liner that sank on its maiden voyage in April 1912 after colliding with an iceberg in the North Atlantic Ocean, died today. She was 97. She died at a nursing home near Southampton, England, the port where she and her family boarded the ship on its only voyage, according to Charles Haas, the president of the Titanic International Society. Her death came on the 98th anniversary of the launching of the Titanic on May 31, 1911. "She was a remarkable, sparkling lady," Haas told the Los Angeles Times today. "She knew her place in history and was always willing to share her story with others, especially children. She was the last living link to the story." Dean was about 8 weeks old when she and her family set sail, third class, on the luxury ocean liner on April 10, 1912. Five days later, she was among some 700 passengers and crew rescued off the coast of Newfoundland. She and her mother, ...
