KUCHING, Oct 28: The Commercial Vehicles Licensing Board (LPKP) will cooperate by approving temporary permits for express bus operators to increase trips to facilitate Sarawakians returning home to vote in the 13th Sarawak Election, Minister of Transport Malaysia Anthony Loke said.
He further encouraged airlines and express bus operators to increase their service capacity to meet the demand and ease the way for Sarawakians.
“Usually, airlines are encouraged to add flights and increase capacity, especially between the Peninsula and Sarawak, whenever festive or election seasons arrive.
“I am confident that airlines will make plans because demand will certainly rise leading up to the election. Therefore, I believe that once the Election Commission (SPR) announces the State election dates, airlines will plan to increase their capacity and flights.
