马哈迪:暂不需要新隆高铁 专注提升现有铁路服务

“马来西亚暂时不需要高铁计划,暂时会先关注提升国内现有铁路系统服务。” 马来西亚首相敦马哈迪表示,高铁计划只是衔接吉隆坡和新加坡,而且马来西亚仍有衔接新加坡的交通系统,所以暂时没必要落实。 他昨日在赛城出席一场铁路创新汇报会时说道,马国以后可能需要兴建衔接柔佛新山和槟城,或是到泰国边境的高铁项目,所以暂时不兴建高铁。“如果高铁只能缩短30分钟的行程,是不划算的,因为人们还需要前往高铁站的时间。但是如果路线够长,能节省两至六小时,那么我认为兴建高铁将是一个好方案。” 提升现有铁路服务方面,他表示,该国已经取得一些进展,通过提升双轨铁道和电动火车的服务与素质。“电动火车不会污染环境,也能高速行驶,时速可以达到每小时160公里。” 推迟两年再商议 当询及新隆高铁计划要延长到北部的槟城或泰国边境,是否有与新加坡商讨过时,马哈迪表示还没有,但是他认为新加坡只会考虑衔接到吉隆坡而已。 他表示,马国要求推迟两年再讨论新隆高铁计划,虽然该国未发出任何合约,但是他们必须赔偿我国。 新加坡和马来西亚在2018年9月签署协议,暂停新隆高铁计划到2020年5月31日,马国也因此赔偿了1500万新元给我国。

多日披麻戴孝讨债,讨债公司老板被捕

近日,一名讨债公司负责人多次以披麻戴孝的方式上前讨债,警方以公共滋扰法令逮捕该名追债公司老板白丰伟。不过据了解目前他已保释在外,警方仍在调查有关案件。 根据本社日前的报道,讨债公司屡出新招,以披麻戴孝的方式连日进行讨债,使被讨债的建筑公司老板深受其扰。他以方言大声哭孝,不停喊道“还钱,还钱”向老板讨债,同时以哼唱丧歌来威胁老板出面处理。最终,不堪其扰的建筑公司报警处理。 事发经过 讨债公司老板白丰伟于上周一(27日)亲身到该公司讨债,但却被建筑公司老板拒绝门外,甚至报警赶人。 翌日,他又出现在该公司门口,披麻戴孝跪地10-15分钟,威胁老板出面商谈,但老板仍拒绝出面,但他并未放弃。 5月29日当天,再次“完整着装”出现在该公司门口,公司职员一再澄清并无欠债,已交由律师处理。 5月31日下午,白丰伟仍不听劝阻,带着口罩、哨子、担幡,并将各大媒体的报道制成布条写着“血汗钱还给我们”,在公司面前叫嚣。后来,因数度澄清不果,公司决定报警处理。 建筑公司:忧生意遭受波及,不排除提控 根据建筑公司老板黄先生描述,“整个过程差不多持续了10分钟左右,我抵达后,对方已不见踪影,警方事后也到场了解情况。” 黄先生表示自新闻出街以来,已收到不少顾客的来电,担心公司名誉受损。他坦言,如今收到陌生电话时仍心有余悸,不敢接听,待搞清楚对方身份才能接听。 “我这几天都忙著接电话,都是顾客询问。虽然目前生意未受波及,但仍担心顾客会因此失去信心。” 他再次澄清并无欠债,两年前合作的承包商在工程完毕后并未提供12个月的保修服务,并陆续发出17万2960元的的额外费用,而经核对后发现有关项目并不在合约范围内,故无支付费用的义务。…
