00:00 Transport Minister Anthony Lok has urged ferry operator Penang Port Sendrian Bahad
00:05 to consider expanding ferry routes connecting the island and mainland within the state.
00:10 He said this is due to the presence of individuals who reside on the mainland
00:15 while being employed in the Bayan Lepas Free Industrial Zone.
00:19 The ministry also proposed the ferry operator to undertake a feasibility study
00:24 to access the viability of establishing new ferry routes in Penang.
00:28 In the first six days, almost 50,000 passengers used this ferry,
00:34 and almost 20,000 motorcycles used this service.
00:39 We have seen that this ferry is very efficient,
00:43 and the expansion can be applied if there is a request.
00:49 Earlier, Lok launched a new ferry service at the Rajatun Uda Ferry Terminal in Georgetown on Thursday.
00:56 The launching of the new ferries were officiated by Penang Governor Tun Ahmad Fuzi Abdul Razak.
