KUCHING, Oct 27: Airlines and express bus operators have been called to explore additional services before and after polling day for the upcoming 13th Sarawak Election, particularly for flights between Peninsular Malaysia and Sarawak, to enable Sarawakians to return to their registered constituencies to fulfil their civic duty.
In a statement, the Ministry of Transport Sarawak (MOTS) said that many Sarawakians work in various states in Peninsular Malaysia, as well as in Singapore and Sabah, and may face challenges in arranging their journeys home during periods of high travel demand.
For air travel, MOTS has asked airlines to plan for increased flight frequencies in the week before and the week after polling day to accommodate voters travelling home to vote and their return journeys.
