00:00Ferry Pulau Pinang
00:30Untuk Pulau Pinang yang utama
00:31Sejak berpuluh tahun yang lalu
00:33Walaupun Iconic Ferry ini telah pun ditamatkan operasinya
00:38Pada tahun 2020
00:39Tetapi apa yang kita kekalkan sebagai nostalgia
00:44Kepada rakyat Pulau Pinang ialah
00:46Ferry tersebut
00:48Yang diubah suai menjadi sebuah muzium
00:51Di sini
00:52Jadi saya yakin bahawa muzium ini akan memberikan
00:56Satu nilai warisan dan sejarah
00:59Yang besar kepada Pulau Pinang
01:01Dan supaya bukan sahaja rakyat tempatan
01:04Malah pengunjung-pengunjung
01:05Boleh mengetahui
01:06Asal-usul dan juga sejarah
01:09Ferry tersebut
01:10Bagaimana dia membantu
01:12Pembangunan negeri Pulau Pinang
01:14Selama
01:15Satu abad yang lalu
01:18Jadi saya
01:20Amat
01:22Amat berbangga
01:25Dengan pembukaan muzium
01:26Ferry Pulau Pinang ini
01:27Kerana ia merupakan satu
01:30Satu nilai sejarah
01:32Yang tidak boleh dipadamkan
01:34Dan saya harap ini dapat memberikan
01:36Bukan sahaja kepada
01:38Peluang kepada
01:39Lebih ramai orang
01:41Untuk mengenali
01:42Ferry Pulau Pinang
01:43Tetapi juga merupakan
01:44Satu produk perlancongan
01:45Untuk Pulau Pinang
01:46Tuan
01:48Adakah kesempatan
01:49Peri perlancongan ikonik
01:51Untuk bertanggungan
01:52Dan juga
01:53Mungkin
01:53Perlancongan
01:55Perlancongan
01:56Ini akan memberi
01:57Menuhi
01:57Perlancongan
01:57Kerana
01:58Bersudah
01:58Perlancongan
01:59Tidak dimaksudkan
02:01Tidak ada
02:01Pancang
02:01Untuk resist
02:02Perlancongan ikonik
02:03Seperti kita
02:05Kerana
02:06Perlancongan ikonik
02:06Perlancongan
02:08Perlancongan
02:09Sangat
02:09Selatan
02:10Sedap
02:11Sudah
02:12Perlancongan
02:12Dan
02:13Tidak
02:14Tidak
02:15Pocos
02:16Pocos
02:16to change to the new ferry the terminal has changed so so the current terminals
02:22is not suitable for the iconic ferry because the operation is totally
02:26different so to in order for the for us to revive the old iconic ferry services
02:33you need to build another terminal which is not possible at this part of time so
02:39I think we have made a decision that for normal services for passenger services
02:44the new ferry should proceed the iconic ferry as we have mentioned and we have
02:50done we have turned it into a museum there's another one being turned into a
02:54floating restaurant and I think it should continue to be a tourism product instead
03:00of for normal passenger services for the normal passenger services currently there
03:04are four ferries of course under the contract under the agreement they should
03:09have at least five so that if the demand is high then of course the port commission
03:16should look into she should look into asking the operator to increase it to the
03:22maximum five in terms of capacity because PPSP recently said that not recently last year
03:28they said that despite having many passengers using the ferry the profit is still not there yet what do you think would be the issue here
03:36of course because we we we control the prices do you want them to make profit so if you want to
03:44bring profit it's not it's not social enterprise this is part of the penang port
03:48privatization this is the obligation of PBSB so of course we know that the penang ferry services is
03:56not it's not profit making in fact they have to cross subsidize the operation I see
04:02incur losses but but that is an obligation under the privatization plan so the entire penang
04:10ferry services is part of the privatization plan of penang port so they take everything together so this is
04:18a cross-subsidy model why why they cannot make money on ferry services for a simple
04:23reason the government controls the fare and we are not going to increase the fare if
04:28not then I'm sure penang X would not be happy as well because a lot of people
04:32depends on this mode as a daily commute between the Butterworth and the Georgetown so
04:37we have no plan to increase the fact in fact right now under our new agreement
04:43uh every year uh they have to give uh eight days right twelve days of free services that's why
04:51right nowadays you see Chinese New Year and some public holidays we give free services it's not it's
04:59it's not a decision by PBSB it's a decision of PPC because we have to ensure that they deliver on the
05:05public goods as well the public services as well so that's why certain days in the year we are giving free
05:11uh ferry services to the public
05:13uh
