The Transport Ministry has with immediate effect suspended all services operated by Seagull Ferry and Accommodation Sdn Bhd, after a boat sank on Saturday, and is studying possible legal action against it. The ministry has also suspended two Marine Department inspectors who were on duty that day when the Seagull Express II caught fire and went down off the Mersing coast. Ministry secretary-general Datuk Zakaria Bahari is also investigating the pair for possible negligence. Its minister Datuk Seri Chan Kong Choy said yesterday the department has also been given two weeks to carry out a full investigation into the incident, which has brought forth many questions on the safety of ferry services. He also ordered a full inspection of all ferries operating in the country to ensure they comply with licensing conditions and safety aspects.
Four passengers drowned, and three others are missing. Five were injured. Speaking at his ministry after meeting with Marine Department officials yesterday, Chan said initial investigation showed that the Seagull Express II ferry operator did not renew its Malaysian Shipping Ordinance licence which expired on March 16 last year

  • The Worlds Best Airline

    Now, MAS is ordering 37 more planes. What a coincidence. Just after my thread of sabotage, bad culture, they take notice. It is bad culture I want to stress. Why is staff morale so low? Why is there loss of productivity? The culture produces dishonest people. Dishonest people = unfit planes. Warning! MAS Sarawak/Sabah planes have no spare parts.

  • My post graduate lecturer was with the MAS. Technicians who are not promoted sabotage the plane by poring used hydrolic oil on the RM1 Million instrument panels. Optic Fibre cables are cut to cripple the planes. At one time MAS had more than 37 planes that are not fit for flying. Claimed as faulty, spare parts are returned to Singapore for 'testing' only to be sent back 'passed' with $1000 bill. Technician return spare parts on purpose when they 'ran' out of time to replace them. Worrying.
