1,000 pemandu lori hadir penyerahan memorandum kepada JPJ
QUOTE
Kota Bharu: Hampir 1,000 pemandu lori berhimpun bagi menyerahkan memorandum terhadap operasi penguatkuasaan di hadapan pejabat Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan (JPJ) Kelantan, di sini, hari ini.
Memorandum berkenaan diserahkan wakil Persatuan Pengusaha dan Pemandu Lori Kelantan, Azam Daud kepada wakil Pengarah JPJ negeri, Mohd Misuari Abdullah.
Azam mendakwa operasi penguatkuasaan agensi berkenaan sejak kebelakangan ini dilihat semakin menindas pemandu dan pengusaha lori yang hanya mencari rezeki untuk keluarga mereka.
"Kami adalah pengusaha yang terbabit dalam sektor pengangkutan di Kelantan dengan secara tidak langsung turut berperanan dalam memajukan pertumbuhan ekonomi negeri.
"Sejak awal bulan ini, operasi penguatkuasaan yang dibuat semakin ketat sekali gus menjejaskan punca pendapatan kami.
"Kami menyerahkan tujuh tuntutan untuk dilihat oleh pengurusan atasan JPJ," katanya ketika ditemui, di sini.
Menurutnya, pihaknya memohon agar satu dialog terbuka antara wakil kerajaan dengan wakilnya dapat dibuat bagi mencari penyelesaian.
Katanya, memorandum yang diserahkan itu diharapkan dapat diambil perhatian oleh pengurusan atasan JPJ sekali gus tindakan sewajarnya dapat diambil.

Pahang lorry drivers seek meeting with Transport Minister to address grouses
QUOTE
KUANTAN: A group of about 500 lorry drivers today gathered at the intersection leading to the Pahang Road Transport Department (RTD) in Indera Mahkota here seeking fair enforcement action from the agency.
They came from various parts of the state to hand over a memorandum containing seven demands to Pahang RTD director Kamarul Iskandar Nordin at about 10.15am.
Traffic policemen and People's Volunteer Corps (Rela) members were seen helping to control the crowd as the gathering was held near a food stall and housing settlement.
A spokesman from the group Mohd Irwan Shah Brahim, 38, said they had voluntarily gathered to raise their opinions concerning the enforcement operations carried out against lorry drivers.
"We did not gather to stage a protest against the government, but we hope the government will listen to our voices. This is a nationwide issue involving the transportation operators.
"We urge the government to review the standard enforcement operating procedures against heavy vehicles and be more considerate to the driver. At times, the strict enforcement puts the driver under immense pressure when we just want to earn a living," he told reporters after handing the memorandum to the state RTD.
Among the demands in the memorandum is for the government to increase the laden weight of lorries, overloading issues and raise the commercial vehicle rentals.
Meanwhile, Mohd Shamsuddin Zakaria, who also represented the lorry drivers, said they were prepared to meet Transport Minister Anthony Loke or representatives from the ministry to find a win-win solution in the matter.
"We have handed the memorandum and do not want the matter to just end here. Holding a meeting to understand the lorry drivers' plight will allow people out there to understand our issues better...we are prepared if the minister or ministry want to engage with us. Please do not sideline us," he said.
Meanwhile, Kamarul Iskandar said the state RTD will refer the memorandum, which involves policies to a higher level in the department.
