Govt May Consider Proposals On Sabah-Peninsula Ferry Service

KOTA KINABALU, Dec 29 (Bernama) -- The private sector is welcome to submit proposals on the establishment of a ferry service between Sabah and Peninsular Malaysia, said Minister in the Prime Minister's Department Datuk Dr Maximus Ongkili.
He said that such a service could increase people's mobility as they were still highly dependent on air transport.
Efforts by the government to bring the people of Sabah, Sarawak and the peninsula closer together were somewhat impeded by high air transport costs, he said at a function organised by the National Unity and Integration Department here Friday night.
Dr Maximus also said he would discuss with Malaysia Airlines and AirAsia the possibility of both airlines offering attractive fares during the school holidays with a view to enhancing national unity.
