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.

Plasma TV Or LCD TV - How Do I Decide?

So how do you know which technology is right for you? Well, it's not a simple matter of Plasma TV is better, or LCD TV is better. It really depends on your circumstances and preferences. Let's talk about the differences and the pros and cons for each, as well as some of the misconceptions regarding these TVs, and hopefully that will help you in your decision making process. Many people confuse Plasma TVs and LCD TVs because at a quick glance they look the same...they're both flat screen TVs, with a thin profile, which can be mounted on a wall. They're definitely both very cool technologies. They share other similarities, of course, such as screen resolution, input types, and a few others, but Plasma TVs and LCD TVs are totally different technologies, and there are differenc

The Right To Be Rich

Shannon Baldwin There is nothing wrong in wanting to get rich. The desire for riches is really the desire for a richer, fuller, and more abundant life; and that desire is praise worthy. There are three motives for which we live; we live for the body, we live for the mind, we live for the soul. No one of these is better or holier than the other; all are alike desirable, and no one of the three--body, mind, or soul--can live fully if either of the others is cut short of full life and expression. It is not right or noble to live only for the soul and deny mind or body; and it is wrong to live for the intellect and deny body or soul. We are all acquainted with the loathsome consequences of living for the body and denying both mind and soul; and we see that real life means the complete expres- sion of all that people can give forth through body, mind, and soul. Whatever you can say, no one can be really happy or satisfied unless their body is living fully in every function, and unless the s

Adultery: Why Men are Prone to Adultery

Adultery is only a joke for those who are not devastated by it. The assumption for thousands of years has been that men are more prone towards adultery due to their genes and their need to spread their seed for continued survival. This may have been true at the beginning of time, but in our over-populated world, have we not evolved enough for our minds to control our behavior? Men may also be more prone to adultery because many men find it easier to separate sex from love than women do. In addition, men may have more power and money so women may put up with adultery because they feel responsible to take care of the children and thus, feel trapped. Main shifts in the power balance in marriage have altered adultery. The incredible shrinking double standard in matters of sex has created a shift of heroic proportions in the nature of sexual infidelity. According to recent findings with a sample pool of 37,000 persons, 15% of wives have reportedly cheated
