We understand Sabah, Sarawak and the Peninsula, there’s only one mode of transport, which is flying,” he told reporters after a breaking of fast event with the media at Forest City Golf Resort here tonight.
“Airlines have to look for a method to increase frequency, how, and where to find planes...to cancel flights where...all needs to be viewed from a total point of view...it requires good coordination between each other,” he said. On the price of express bus tickets that was said to have also risen during Aidilfitri season, he said the government has not allowed any express bus operator to take advantage by increasing fares drastically especially during festive seasons.
