LABUAN: Member of Parliament Datuk Suhaili Abdul Rahman said it is not fair to blame the authorities in Sabah for not having the ferry terminal at Jesselton Point ready for the Labuan-Kota Kinabalu Express to resume service.
“I spoke to Sabah Works Minister Datuk Shahelmey Yahya and learnt that no officials from here, either from Labuan Corporation (LC) or LDA Holdings that manages the Labuan International Ferry Terminal, took the initiative to inform the authorities in Sabah on the use of the jetty,” he said.
LC is headed by Tan Sri Anifah Aman, a Sabahan who was also made a Senator to represent Labuan’s interests.
Suhaili said the Sabah authorities were notified only after the Minister (Dr Zaliha Mustapha) announced that the Labuan-KK Express ferry would begin service on Dec 15 as the operator of the fast boat (Power Boat) was ready.
