YB Tuan Wee Choo Keong (Wangsa Maju) minta Menteri Pengangkutan menyatakan sama ada sehubungan dengan niat AirAsia untuk tidak memindahkan operasinya ke KLIA2 adakah Kerajaan akan tunduk kepada “ultimatum” ini atau Kerajaan akan menghentikan operasi LCCT apabila KLIA2 beroperasi kelak?
Jawapan:
Tuan Yang Di pertua,
Untuk makluman Ahli Yang Berhormat, Kerajaan tidak pernah menerima sebarang makluman rasmi dari AirAsia yang menyatakan pihaknya tidak akan berpindah ke KLIA2. Selain daripada itu, KLIA2 tidak hanya dikhaskan untuk satu-satu syarikat penerbangan tambang murah sahaja. Mana-mana syarikat pernebangan tambang murah dari dalam atau luar negara yang berminat boleh mengunakan KLIA2.
Note:
I hope that YAB PM Datuk Seri Najib bin Tun Razak will look at the standard of the Ministry of Transport in providing answers to Parliament.
I have seen press reports that the Ministry of Transport responded to press statements published in the newspapers. I have read Minister of Transport responded to Tan Sri Tony Fernandes’s comments in the press, in HERE. There were many more of such responses by the Ministry of Transport. The little Napoleons in the Ministry were playing stupid by giving the above answers to Parliament. They treated Parliament with contempt.
It was public knowledge from reports in the press that AirAsia has threatened not move to KLIA2 when it is completed, in HERE. Tan Sri Tony Fernandes, the then CEO of AirAsia, has also been reported to have said that AirAsia will not use aerobridge in KLIA2, in HERE .
It would appear to be unclear from the above answer whether LCCT will be closed upon KLIA2 in full operation. Yours truly shall pursue the answer from the Ministry of Transport during the reply stage next week and/or during the debate at the Committee Stage in November 2012.
