彭州大臣宣布刁曼岛获准建新机场

彭州大臣宣布刁曼岛获准建新机场



马来西亚彭亨州务大臣旺罗斯迪宣布,中央政府已批准在著名海岛刁曼岛建设新机场的计划。

他昨天在彭州政府官方面簿发表声明指出,中央政府与彭州政府经过数年讨论,终于达成协议,决定落实有关计划。

他说:“根据公共工程部的建议,刁曼岛机场将建在甘榜巴耶(Kampung Paya),因为该区域对环境和人们的生活影响最小,是最适合的地点。”

他指出,新机场拥有一条长2.5公里的跑道,可让载送180人至200人的波音737型号飞机,以及A320空中客车起降。

至于费用方面,他说,将由政府及承包的私人公司分担,但细节仍在洽谈,尚未有最终定案。

旺罗斯迪也说,彭州政府相信新机场落成后,不仅能解决国内外访客登岛度假的交通问题,还能提高访岛人次,促进地方经济发展和增加就业机会。

他指出,刁曼岛每年接待约15万名游客,新机场落成后,相信游客人数会增长。“刁曼岛曾被美国《时代》杂志评为世界上最美丽的岛屿之一,我期待新机场带动游客人数增加后,岛上经济能更蓬勃发展,为当地人带来正面效应。”

刁曼岛目前有一个小型机场,只供小型飞机及包机起降,因此游客大多数是坐车或巴士前往柔佛州丰盛港码头,再坐船到刁曼岛。

去年中,马来西亚成功集团有限公司宣布,该公司计划耗资12亿令吉(约3.9亿新元)在刁曼岛建机场,并且已把相关建议书提交给政府。

马来西亚政府过去一直计划要在刁曼岛建新机场,以促进当地旅游业。其中,政府在2003年提出耗资1.2亿令吉(约3900万新元)在刁曼岛建机场的计划,但时任交通部长翁诗杰在2009年以环境问题为由,取消了计划。

Tioman Development Authority (TDA) has joined the search for a Finnish man, believed to be missing in Pulau Tioman since Tuesday, by providing additional boats for the operation.

State Fire and Rescue Department deputy director Mohd Sani Harul said the extra assets would be deployed to cover more areas around the island.

"The boats will allow the SAR teams to expand the search area and cover certain areas of the island.

"Travelling on a boat will make it easier for us to reach the waterfall at Kampung Asah in Mukut on the island... If we were to go by land, it will take about three days to reach the village," he said in a statement today.

Nikitin Aleksis Elis Valtteri, 20, was reported missing after planning to participate in a recreational activity at the Kampung Asah waterfall in Mukut here last Tuesday.

He had arrived at Kampung Paya in Pulau Tioman on Jan 21 and stayed in one of the villager's home.

The victim's acquaintance, known only as Jamsari, lodged a police report after he failed to meet the victim as promised near the waterfall on Jan 22.

Mohd Sani said SAR team member have yet to obtain any clues on the missing tourist and tracker dogs have been roped in to assist the operation.

He said a total of 21 firemen, 12 police officers and four personnel from the Civil Defence Force are involved in the SAR operation.

No plans to open casino in Pulau Tioman

Pahang MB: No plans to open casino in Pulau Tioman

Pahang state government has no plans to consider applications to open a casino in Pulau Tioman, near Rompin here.

Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail said such matter was never been discussed and would never be given consideration even if there were parties interested to apply for the casino licence there.

“We will never consider or have plans to offer gambling or casino licence on Pulau Tioman. We will never look into such applications and we hope the state government had made its stand clear on the matter,” he said when replying to a supplementary question by Sim Chon Siang (PKR-Teruntum) at the 14th state legislative assembly sitting at Wisma Sri Pahang here today.

Sim had earlier asked the state government on the proposal to offer casino licence to interested operators to start the business on the island and the status of the Pulau Tioman airport in a move to lure more visitors to the island.

Meanwhile, Wan Rosdy said plans to build a new airport on the island was still being discussed between the state government, federal government and East Coast Economic Region Development Council (ECERDC).

He said a meeting was held between Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad as well as menteri besar of Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang and Johor early last month but there had yet to be any decision on the matter.

“Johor Menteri Besar (Datuk Osman Sapian) presented a proposal (to build an airport in Mersing, Johor) during the meeting but it was rejected as the priority is now to build an airport here (Pulau Tioman).

“However, there is no decision yet on the implementation of the project. It (construction of a new airport) might be carried out later,” he said.

Navy to rescue stranded tourists on Tioman Island

Navy to rescue stranded tourists on Tioman Island



The Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) has been deployed to rescue 93 tourists who have been stranded on Tioman Island for several days following bad weather and rough seas.

A total of 54 foreign tourists and 39 local tourists have been stranded on the island since Jan 11.

Tioman assemblyman Datuk Seri Mohd Johari Hussain said Navy ship KD Terengganu is expected to arrive on the island at 10pm Monday (Jan 15).

"Tomorrow morning (Jan 16) at 7.30am, we can start transferring people from the marina," he told The Star.

Mohd Johari also said seven locals will be allowed to board the ship as they had urgent matters to attend to on the mainland.

The monsoon season in Tioman Island starts from October to March every year.

Mohd Johari also said when the monsoon season starts, the Government constantly reminds people of the situation and the risk that they may face on the island.

"During this period, fewer tourists will visit the island due to the weather but there are those who take the risk to go to Tioman with the hope that they would be able to board the ferry when the weather improves," he said.

He said this time, ferry services remained inoperable for a longer period and as such, tourists and locals were unable to leave the island.

Berjaya launches ‘sea shelter’ programme to enhance marine life

Berjaya launches ‘sea shelter’ programme to enhance marine life



Vincent Tan (L) and his son Robin enjoying a dive while witnessing the laying of structures off Pulau

Berjaya Corporation (Berjaya Corp) recently took environmental sustainability to a new level by starting a "Shelter in the Sea for Marine Life" coral reef programme.

The RM200,000 project saw the laying of 67 concrete pipes, ranging from one to two metres in diameter, on the seabed between Berjaya Tioman Resort Dive Centre and Renggis Island off Johor.

Berjaya Group founder Tan Sri Vincent Tan, who put on a wetsuit to personally witness the laying of the pipes on the seabed, said the structures will encourage coral growth and also provide protection for marine life.

"We will also plant small corals on the pipes to generate faster growth. I believe it will help enhance Tioman's beauty, protect the fishes and enhance activities for divers here.

"We all like to dive through caves and tunnels, and using these pipes as 'artificial tunnels' could be the closest that one can get to diving through caves," he told reporters here on Saturday.

Tan, who has been diving since 1985, said the results of the project will be gauged over the next few of years.

He said although most environmentalists do not see eye-to-eye on developments at sea, projects like this can be good for the environment if enough efforts were taken.

"Environmentalists are often against development. They should dive more, see and understand for themselves the situation. In fact, a hundred years from now, the water here will still be very nice. I think it is okay if we take efforts to care for this island," he added.

The six-acre project, which is between eight and 11m, is said to provide a suitable habitat for algae and invertebrates, which in turn will create a sustainable ecosystem.

The strategic location of the project site near to the dive centre will also enable experts to monitor coral growth easily and plan further restoration programmes in future.

A survey by Reef Check Malaysia in 2014 found that the condition of coral reefs around Tioman Island is generally in good form, but faces various threats such as warm water bleaching and human factors like illegal fishing and irresponsible tourist behaviour.

Also present during the pipes-laying event were Tan's sons, Berjaya Corp chairman and CEO Datuk Seri Robin Tan and 7-Eleven Malaysia Holdings Berhad executive director Tan U-Ming.

刁曼岛探险失踪 英汉拒导游随行

刁曼岛探险失踪 英汉拒导游随行

在刁曼岛独自探索瀑布的英国男子失踪至今已6天,度假村业者透露失踪者当时坚持独行,拒绝导游随行。

刁曼州议员拿督莫哈末佐哈里表示,根据度假村业者透露,34岁的盖勒亨特利在动身前往瀑布探索前,业者曾建议他协同当地导游一起前往,惟这项建议遭失踪者当场婉拒。

「盖勒当时表示,要独自进入奥妙的森林到瀑布去探险,婉拒聘请当地导游随行。」

他说,由於警方无法在度假村内寻获盖勒的证件,因此相信失踪者把随身证件包括护照及签证都带在身上。

他说,搜救小组目前已出动超过110人,包括警员丶消拯员丶民防部队丶志愿警卫员丶村民及警犬,进入森林里,在瀑布周遭展开搜查。

「此外,海空军也出动直升机及快艇在海岛四周搜寻,不过搜救队伍在截稿时都没有任何发现。」

据了解,盖勒的家属包括母亲在今日从英国飞抵大马,然後动身前往刁曼岛了搜救情况。

根据报导,盖勒的母亲在得悉儿子失踪後,曾经择写一封公开信至英国首相卡梅伦,促请首相向大马政府施压,加速搜寻其儿子的行动。

友人设寻人专业

喜欢冒险的失踪者盖勒,是单独前往刁曼岛参加海龟保育计划,在入住度假村後,知会工作人员指欲到瀑布探险,结果离奇失踪6天,至今尚未现身。彭亨州警方在接获投报後,已第一时间展开搜寻行动。

另外,其友人在「面子书」上设立「寻找盖勒亨特利(Find Gareth Huntley)」的专页,贴文呼吁大马警方加速寻找行动,同时呼吁其他网友极力转发专页,务必寻找到失踪者。

与此同时,「寻找盖勒亨特利」专页的负责人今日也慎重澄清,该专业至今不曾发动任何筹款运动,以作为搜寻失踪者的经费,希望民众不要上当,被不法之徒利用此事敛财。

新收费制令游客却步 海岛潜水度假村停业

新收费制令游客却步 海岛潜水度假村停业



奥岛不论是岛屿或是深海的景色, 都吸引许多游客慕名而来, 但在柔州政府实施潜水费后, 让潜水客大减。

丰盛港群岛启动收费机制逾2个月,影响日渐发酵,奥岛3家经营潜水度假村的业者,因潜水客不愿支付每日200令吉的潜水费用而暂停营业度假村,以观望州政府重新检讨收费。

自9月1日起,丰盛港外海7个著名群岛已改称为苏丹依斯干达海洋公园,包括拉瓦岛(Pulau Rawa)、大岛(Pulau Besar)、西布岛(Pulau Sibu)、丁宜岛(Pulau Tinggi)、中途岛(Pulau Tengah)、柏曼基岛(Pulau Pemanggil)、奥岛(Pulau Aur)及其他小群岛,限制每日深海潜水游客100人,并收取每日每人200令吉潜水费与每人入岛缴付环境保育费,以确保柔州海域及岛屿的风光明媚依旧,但却引来部分游客及业者的不满,当中以外国游客投诉较多,本地旅游业者则对此收费保留观望的态度。

刁曼岛游客被迫缴费

《南洋商报》询问相关业者后发现,原先3家在奥岛经营潜水度假村的业者,在实施收费后,潜水客不愿前来,就连事前预订的2个月订单也被取消,唯有被逼暂时关闭度假村,将部分设备转移到刁曼岛与其他业者合作。

其中也有业者反映收费没有固定程序进行,以致连从丰盛港码头搭船前往刁曼岛的外国游客也被迫缴付费用,让业者天天接到外国游客的投诉,特别是洋人。

面对收费用的影响,业者纷纷表示担心游客转移到别处潜水,连带不仅影响到岛屿旅游,也会冲击到丰盛港的旅游业。

客人嫌贵不愿到奥岛潜水

42岁的业者孙志强透露,奥岛主要游客来自吉隆坡和新加坡,平均每周约300名潜水客到奥岛潜水,自从实施收费后,客人叹负担不起,不愿到奥岛潜水。

他说,度假村没了客源,邻近的另两家度假村也面对一样窘境,唯有暂时关闭度假村。

他表示,在9月24日出席与政府单位的讨论会,也与其他业者一同向当局反映有关问题,希望当局协助业者,寻回失去的客源。

配套价格增加50%

他指出,奥岛由于地理位置较远,也无固定船班,平日都不会有游客前来旅游,潜水客则是在每周五至周日前来奥岛潜水。

“到奥岛的游客约98%都是来深海潜水的游客,所以这项收费对奥岛的业者影响很大。”

他坦言,原本奥岛的潜水配套价格不高,但实施每日200令吉的潜水费后,却导致3天2夜的配套价格须增加约50%收费。

出席9月24日收费讨论会议的单位包括柔州国家公园局、大马半岛海事局、丰盛港县政局、丰盛港县议会、柔佛州经济策划单位、柔佛州教育局、旅游部及掌管柔佛州旅游、商贸与消费事务的行政议员拿督郑修强。

半年研究时间太长 业者担忧游客不回流

孙志强还担忧,讨论会上,柔州经济策划单位表示将会针对此课题进行研究直到明年6月份,但时间太长,恐怕游客早已外流,不再回到奥岛。

他表示,由于柔州东海岸岛屿每年杪都会面对季风而无法营业,这段期间潜水客都会转移到印尼民丹岛潜水,若当局要到6月才有结果,恐怕潜水客都转向民丹岛了。

他指出,目前民丹岛的竞争大,配套价格也和奥岛不相上下,加上搭船时间较短,已吸引了不少潜水客到民丹岛。

他补充,虽然一些潜水客也选择到刁曼岛,但因刁曼岛的景点不多,恐怕也无法满足潜水爱好者,因此希望当局能尽快完成调查与研究。

非法渔船破坏海域

每日每人200令吉的潜水费,让原本预订9月及10月配套的游客纷纷喊停,孙志强无奈表示,在业者向已预订的顾客说明有关收费后,顾客都不愿多付这200令吉的费用,业者只能让顾客取消预订。

他说,该公司平均每周都有约100名顾客,现在因不愿意支付额外费用,生意直接受到重大影响。

他透露,由于他不单拥有度假村,还有潜水设备,如今奥岛的生意暂停,他唯有将一些设备转向刁曼岛和与其他相识的业者合作。

此外,孙志强也揭露,度假村停业不仅是业者蒙受损失,就连当地岛民的生计也陷入困境,因为岛民多在度假村工作以或开船载客及载货。

部分船只刁曼岛载客

他说,度假村停业,员工也了解,只好另寻出路,部分船只只好安排到刁曼岛载客,但还是影响许多当地岛民的生计。

针对征收潜水费用的原因,孙志强表示,当地岛民与业者都齐声强调,破坏珊瑚及污染海域并非潜水客造成。

他指出,在讨论会上,他们曾极力向当局澄清,海域污染及珊瑚的破坏不是因潜水客引起,而是非法渔船擅自前往捕钓所致。

他说,由于奥岛周日都没有潜水客,许多渔船就非法到附近海域捕钓,结果造成珊瑚被渔网勾着,以及留下垃圾,当地岛民也做出多次的投诉。

他也希望当局能真正去了解有关污染造成的原因,若只说是潜水客及岛民造成污染及破坏,此说法让他们有感欠缺公平。

没固定程序收费大乱

在丰盛港售卖岛屿旅游配套的业者黄德金则反映,由于当局收费没有固定程序,导致收费人员在丰盛港码头有如“赶鸭子”一般混乱的收费。

他指出,原先所公布的收费是指属于柔佛州的岛屿,但收费人员却向在丰盛港码头搭船前往彭亨关丹刁曼岛的游客收费,以致前往刁曼岛的游客必须缴付两州的费用。

他说,在丰盛港码头上船前往刁曼岛的外国游客被迫缴付20令吉费用,只是经过柔佛海域就要付这笔费用,之后还要缴付彭亨州的入岛费用。

他透露,如此混乱的收费,让外国游客特别是洋人,几乎天天都出现与收费人员起争执的现象。

他担心若情况继续下去,必定会减少游客前来的意愿,在没有看到效果前,就让丰盛港失去竞争力。

外国旅游业者影响最大

马来西亚华人旅游业协会柔佛分会副主席何健发表示,有关收费对于本地旅游业者影响不大,影响较大的多是来自新加坡或外地旅游业者。

他表示,州政府收取此费用固然对环境很好,只是业者们就少了些生意,一开始许多业者也不了解此收费,但在与当局交流后便能接受。

他指出,旅游局目前也开放10个名额,让符合经营潜水生意的业者向当局登记,惟必须符合所有相关的条件才能成为合格的业者。

郑修强:建议调整费用

掌管柔州旅游、商贸与消费事务的行政议员拿督郑修强受询时表示,当局已在9月24日的讨论会上了解到业者的困境,但不清楚奥岛有3家业者暂停营业。他承诺将会向州政府反映此事,以协助调整有关潜水费用。

他指出,目前丰盛港外海岛屿已进入季风季节准备封岛,有关当局无法收取资料,因为有关调查必须是在岛屿可营业的情况下进行。

他说,当局欲深入研究,就必须要对游客人数进行比较,才能得知受影响的程度。
