拨款预算增24巴仙 移民局新柔长堤关卡仍面对人手不足问题

昨日,移民局发文告,解释新柔长堤上周末交通塞爆,主要是发生虚报炸弹事件、汽车抛锚和驾车人士胡乱插队造成

许多网民也到移民局脸书抱怨,在关卡出入境大排长龙,一些网民指出,移民局并没有开放更多柜台,来疏导缓慢和拥堵的通关情况。

在誌期19日的声明中,移民局则指出上周末因为有驾驶者插队而导致拥堵情况加剧;此外,还有车子抛锚、虚报诈弹事件等。

“移民局官员全天候工作,尽最大努力确保民众能安全通关。”文告称,由于职员换班和调派人手到交通流量更高的区域,为此有些关卡将暂时关闭。

换言之,移民局默认了一些柜台“因为调派人手到高流量区域”而被迫“暂时关闭”,并没有足够人手来应对上述情况。

移民局预算比去年增加24巴仙

然而,在拨款给移民局的2017和2018预算对比下,可见政府已增加了移民局预算高达24巴仙。在2017年预算,拨款给移民和关卡监控项目的预算是为8亿1789万3800元。

在今年的预算则提升到10亿1416万2300元,增加了1亿9626万8500元:

虽然增加了24巴仙的预算,移民局在面对高峰时期,仍必须暂时关闭部分柜台,“把人手调派到更高交通流量的区域”。

这意味着,即使提升了近两亿元的预算,移民局仍无法有效供应充足的人手和资源,来缓解关卡拥堵的问题。民众有必要质问,移民局如何使用增加的近两亿元拨款?
