ECRL Manfaat Berskala Mega Untuk Rakyat Dan Negara - Kenyataan Media Menteri Pengangkutan
Selain dari serangan perkara remeh temeh berkenaan upacara perasmian pecah tanah Oleh Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Razak untuk projek Laluan keretapi Pantai Timur atau ECRL , perkara yang lebih besar jangan pula di lupakan.
Jangan pula semut di dinding menjadi bahan bualan sedang kan gajah se ekor tidak nampak pula.
Ketika pelancaran acara pecah tanah dan pemulaan kerja tentu sekali pihak anti kerajaan dan pembangkang pasti mencari kelemahan atau kesilapan untuk di jadikan isu mengkritik Perdana Menteri dan kerajaan.
Jika sebelum ini mereka menyerang kos pembinaan , dan sebab nusabab untuk menidak kan projek ini , kini terakhir mereka berbual berkenaan majlis yang di kata kan tidak ada ciri ciri Malaysia pula dan konon nya telah di tawan oleh negara China.
Ini semua kerana perasaan cemburu dan iri hati kejayaan kerajaan untuk memajukan negara dan rakyat nya.
Menteri Pengangkutan Datuk Seri Liow Tiong Lai telah memberi kenyataan yang boleh di kira padu berkenaan ECRL ini.
Dalam kenyataan sebagai Menteri Pengangkutan Datuk Seri Liow telah menyebut bahawa projek ini ada lah tanda asas satu komitment kerajaan kepada kesejahteraan rakyat terutama dalam bidang poengangkutan awam negara.
Projek ini juga boleh di anggap sebagai satu titik penghubung antara timur dan barat semenanjung Malaysia.
Paling ketara beruntung ada lah konektiviti dua pelabuhan antara Port Klang dan Kuantan.
Apa apa barangan yang di punggah di Kuantan boleh di hantar nmelalui line rel ECRL ke Port Klang dan vice -versa.
Di anggar kan 54 juta tan barangan kargo dapat melalui laluan ini.
Selain itu link rel ini boleh manfaat kan hampir empat juta penumpang dan pengguna.
Paling penting ada lah penjimatan masa perjalanan yang di anggarkan empat jam yakni hampir separuh dari waktu di ambil jika memandu.
Kenyataan penuh berkenaan kenyataan Datuk Seri Liow aada di bawah ini:-
MEDIA STATEMENT
BY YB DATO’ SRI LIOW TIONG LAI
MINISTER OF TRANSPORT, MALAYSIA
Liow: ECRL Connects Lives and Accelerates Growth
The ground breaking ceremony of the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) by Prime Minister YAB Dato’ Sri Mohd Najib today marked yet another significant milestone in the nation’s public transport transformation agenda.
As part of the Government’s unwavering commitments to provide seamless and efficient transportation infrastructure for the rakyat, the 688km ECRL will connect east and west coast of Peninsula Malaysia via 22 stations. It is expected to reduce traveling time to only four hours from ITT Gombak to Kota Bharu compared to the average eight hours journey by road or more than 12 hours on festive seasons.
The line, scheduled to be completed in 2024, will provide seamless connectivity between east and west coast and is expected to benefit the 4.4 million population along its route. Once completed, it is estimated that the ECRL will serve 5.4 million passengers annually by 2030. This is in line with my ministry’s goal of 40% modal share in public transport in 2030.
Furthermore, the ECRL will be an important catalyst to realise our aspiration to be the logistics hub in the region as it links key economic and industrial areas such as Malaysia-China Kuantan Industrial park to both Kuantan Port and Port Klang. It is estimated that 53 million tons of cargo will use the ECRL service once its completed.
I strongly believe that the ECRL has huge potentials to boost economic growth particularly in the states of Kelantan, Terengganu and Pahang. It will see greater socio-economic impact and provide greater comfort to when it is forecasted that the gross domestic product (GDP) for these states to grow 1.5% with the implementation of this project.
The continuous improvement in the public transportation network is a testament to the Government’s “People First, Performance Now” slogan. This has long been a key focus for the Ministry of Transport as well as the Government of Malaysia.
It is heartening to note that the country’s transportation sector is experiencing exciting times with the launch of this project just barely a month after the successful launch of the MRT Sungai Buloh – Kajang Line, which is a significant achievement in the public transport transformation agenda.
On behalf of the Government of Malaysia, I wish to congratulate ECRL’s project owner, Malaysia Rail Link for the successful ground breaking launch today. We whole-heartedly support ECRL in its efforts to transform Malaysia into a world class economy via its efficient urban public transportation system.
