00:00I would like to give a message to the media regarding an important issue,
00:13which is why there is always a problem with the welfare system in the North,
00:20especially last year and this year.
00:26There is always a problem with the welfare system,
00:30and it happens almost every week.
00:34We have received the data and we know from the Ministry
00:38that this problem has reached a very critical stage
00:41and it is indeed harming the public.
00:44We are very sorry for the disruption that has been received by the public.
00:49We also do not want to harm the public.
00:51We want our passengers to receive our services with joy,
00:55but often times, especially from the KTMB,
01:00we are insulted and criticized by the passengers.
01:08We do not blame the passengers.
01:11We know their frustration.
01:13We know that they are very uncomfortable when their services are disrupted,
01:18especially when the train stops before they reach the station.
01:24But what they do not know, what actually happens,
01:28is not because of the problems of the KTMB,
01:33but the issue of sabotage on the KTM infrastructure,
01:37which has been so bad,
01:41because we are facing a big problem,
01:44which is the theft of the cable,
01:46the continuous transmission and communication system,
01:49which has a negative impact on the KTM's services in the Australian sector.
01:53The number of theft cases has increased from 7 cases in the 3rd quarter of 2024
02:02to 36 cases in the 4th quarter of 2024.
02:07It has increased almost fourfold.
02:10From 7 cases in the 3rd quarter last year,
02:14to 36 cases in the 4th quarter,
02:17from October to December.
02:20So, in the span of 3 months,
02:2336 cases have occurred.
02:25That means 12 cases every month.
02:29Almost every 2-3 days.
02:32Every time there is a theft,
02:34the transmission and communication system is disrupted.
02:42Every week, it happens 2-3 times.
02:45And as many as 20 hospice locations have been affected.
02:49Where the agricultural river sector to Tasik Bulunggo
02:51recorded the highest number of cases,
02:53which is 35 cases.
02:55And the agricultural river sector decreased to 21 cases last year.
02:59As a result, the number of incidents of disruption to the KTM North Computer service
03:03resulting from the theft case
03:05has increased from 85 incidents in July 2024
03:10to 804 incidents in December 2024.
03:15The cost of repair is Rp 1.35 million.
03:19With a loss of 162 hours due to the operation delay.
03:25The number of theft cases,
03:27the system of transmission and communication that has increased dramatically,
03:30cannot be underestimated.
03:32Because this is not a mere theft crime.
03:36The transmission system acts to control the movement of trains
03:39carrying hundreds of passengers and passengers who lost millions of ringgit safely.
03:43The theft of the transmission cable system not only disrupts the KTM service,
03:47but also has the potential to disrupt passenger and passenger safety.
03:51Syndicate stealing cable address sabotage is a bad policy
03:54that violates public order and national security.
03:58Therefore, the action of the authorities must be increased
04:01and the focus should be put on the regulation of the law
04:05regarding public order and national security.
04:08The Ministry of Transportation will work closely with the agencies,
04:12especially the police, PDRM,
04:15to hunt down the thieves who sabotage the national infrastructure
04:19and endanger the public
04:21so that they are brought to justice.
04:24The KTMB has carried out 132 special operations
04:29including 24-hour reduction in hot areas
04:32around Busukapitani, Gurun and Tasik Rurubu.
04:36The KTMB has also improved the Axel Counter system
04:39and Axel Counter equipment with a cost of 12.8 million ringgit
04:43in three years in the hot areas.
04:47In addition to adding monitoring and prevention infrastructure such as CCTV,
04:50drone, anti-theft and anti-theft devices,
04:53the KTMB has also installed an at-home lock with a new lock mechanism.
04:57For the information, we see, as I said earlier,
04:59we see in detail, we go, we have searched,
05:02where is the ending of this thing, where is it stolen?
05:05We realize that the end of the day is the majority,
05:10the premise of the stolen goods.
05:13And on the 5th of March,
05:15the police took the initiative
05:17to make an appointment with the enemy's enforcers
05:21at the APK headquarters,
05:23headed by the head of the police headquarters.
05:26I was there, the KTMB was there,
05:31and we forced the buyers,
05:34because we realized that if the buyers are more responsible,
05:37they do not dare to buy,
05:39there is no effect on the goods,
05:42there is no way to deal with the thief.
05:46So we forced the enforcers to work together with us,
05:50which will ultimately prevent the theft.
05:56And back to the question earlier,
05:58our work at the end of last year and the beginning of this year,
06:02for the information, we arrested a group of 5 locals
06:06who are responsible for the theft of this cable
06:11in the Burun and Pendang area.
06:14And we have proven that by arresting them,
06:18the theft will stop.
