彭州大臣宣布刁曼岛获准建新机场
彭州大臣宣布刁曼岛获准建新机场
马来西亚彭亨州务大臣旺罗斯迪宣布，中央政府已批准在著名海岛刁曼岛建设新机场的计划。
他昨天在彭州政府官方面簿发表声明指出，中央政府与彭州政府经过数年讨论，终于达成协议，决定落实有关计划。
他说：“根据公共工程部的建议，刁曼岛机场将建在甘榜巴耶（Kampung Paya），因为该区域对环境和人们的生活影响最小，是最适合的地点。”
他指出，新机场拥有一条长2.5公里的跑道，可让载送180人至200人的波音737型号飞机，以及A320空中客车起降。
至于费用方面，他说，将由政府及承包的私人公司分担，但细节仍在洽谈，尚未有最终定案。
旺罗斯迪也说，彭州政府相信新机场落成后，不仅能解决国内外访客登岛度假的交通问题，还能提高访岛人次，促进地方经济发展和增加就业机会。
他指出，刁曼岛每年接待约15万名游客，新机场落成后，相信游客人数会增长。“刁曼岛曾被美国《时代》杂志评为世界上最美丽的岛屿之一，我期待新机场带动游客人数增加后，岛上经济能更蓬勃发展，为当地人带来正面效应。”
刁曼岛目前有一个小型机场，只供小型飞机及包机起降，因此游客大多数是坐车或巴士前往柔佛州丰盛港码头，再坐船到刁曼岛。
去年中，马来西亚成功集团有限公司宣布，该公司计划耗资12亿令吉（约3.9亿新元）在刁曼岛建机场，并且已把相关建议书提交给政府。
马来西亚政府过去一直计划要在刁曼岛建新机场，以促进当地旅游业。其中，政府在2003年提出耗资1.2亿令吉（约3900万新元）在刁曼岛建机场的计划，但时任交通部长翁诗杰在2009年以环境问题为由，取消了计划。

No plans to open casino in Pulau Tioman
Pahang MB: No plans to open casino in Pulau Tioman
Pahang state government has no plans to consider applications to open a casino in Pulau Tioman, near Rompin here.
Menteri Besar Datuk Seri Wan Rosdy Wan Ismail said such matter was never been discussed and would never be given consideration even if there were parties interested to apply for the casino licence there.
“We will never consider or have plans to offer gambling or casino licence on Pulau Tioman. We will never look into such applications and we hope the state government had made its stand clear on the matter,” he said when replying to a supplementary question by Sim Chon Siang (PKR-Teruntum) at the 14th state legislative assembly sitting at Wisma Sri Pahang here today.
Sim had earlier asked the state government on the proposal to offer casino licence to interested operators to start the business on the island and the status of the Pulau Tioman airport in a move to lure more visitors to the island.
Meanwhile, Wan Rosdy said plans to build a new airport on the island was still being discussed between the state government, federal government and East Coast Economic Region Development Council (ECERDC).
He said a meeting was held between Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad as well as menteri besar of Kelantan, Terengganu, Pahang and Johor early last month but there had yet to be any decision on the matter.
“Johor Menteri Besar (Datuk Osman Sapian) presented a proposal (to build an airport in Mersing, Johor) during the meeting but it was rejected as the priority is now to build an airport here (Pulau Tioman).
“However, there is no decision yet on the implementation of the project. It (construction of a new airport) might be carried out later,” he said.

Navy to rescue stranded tourists on Tioman Island
Navy to rescue stranded tourists on Tioman Island
The Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) has been deployed to rescue 93 tourists who have been stranded on Tioman Island for several days following bad weather and rough seas.
A total of 54 foreign tourists and 39 local tourists have been stranded on the island since Jan 11.
Tioman assemblyman Datuk Seri Mohd Johari Hussain said Navy ship KD Terengganu is expected to arrive on the island at 10pm Monday (Jan 15).
"Tomorrow morning (Jan 16) at 7.30am, we can start transferring people from the marina," he told The Star.
Mohd Johari also said seven locals will be allowed to board the ship as they had urgent matters to attend to on the mainland.
The monsoon season in Tioman Island starts from October to March every year.
Mohd Johari also said when the monsoon season starts, the Government constantly reminds people of the situation and the risk that they may face on the island.
"During this period, fewer tourists will visit the island due to the weather but there are those who take the risk to go to Tioman with the hope that they would be able to board the ferry when the weather improves," he said.
He said this time, ferry services remained inoperable for a longer period and as such, tourists and locals were unable to leave the island.

Berjaya launches ‘sea shelter’ programme to enhance marine life
Berjaya launches ‘sea shelter’ programme to enhance marine life
Vincent Tan (L) and his son Robin enjoying a dive while witnessing the laying of structures off Pulau
Berjaya Corporation (Berjaya Corp) recently took environmental sustainability to a new level by starting a "Shelter in the Sea for Marine Life" coral reef programme.
The RM200,000 project saw the laying of 67 concrete pipes, ranging from one to two metres in diameter, on the seabed between Berjaya Tioman Resort Dive Centre and Renggis Island off Johor.
Berjaya Group founder Tan Sri Vincent Tan, who put on a wetsuit to personally witness the laying of the pipes on the seabed, said the structures will encourage coral growth and also provide protection for marine life.
"We will also plant small corals on the pipes to generate faster growth. I believe it will help enhance Tioman's beauty, protect the fishes and enhance activities for divers here.
"We all like to dive through caves and tunnels, and using these pipes as 'artificial tunnels' could be the closest that one can get to diving through caves," he told reporters here on Saturday.
Tan, who has been diving since 1985, said the results of the project will be gauged over the next few of years.
He said although most environmentalists do not see eye-to-eye on developments at sea, projects like this can be good for the environment if enough efforts were taken.
"Environmentalists are often against development. They should dive more, see and understand for themselves the situation. In fact, a hundred years from now, the water here will still be very nice. I think it is okay if we take efforts to care for this island," he added.
The six-acre project, which is between eight and 11m, is said to provide a suitable habitat for algae and invertebrates, which in turn will create a sustainable ecosystem.
The strategic location of the project site near to the dive centre will also enable experts to monitor coral growth easily and plan further restoration programmes in future.
A survey by Reef Check Malaysia in 2014 found that the condition of coral reefs around Tioman Island is generally in good form, but faces various threats such as warm water bleaching and human factors like illegal fishing and irresponsible tourist behaviour.
Also present during the pipes-laying event were Tan's sons, Berjaya Corp chairman and CEO Datuk Seri Robin Tan and 7-Eleven Malaysia Holdings Berhad executive director Tan U-Ming.

疑寻获遗体 英籍背包客母亲女友认尸
珍妮（中） 及吉贾丽娜（左） 在凯伦的陪同下，前往医院太平间辨认尸体。
疑是刁曼岛失踪背包客英国籍男子哈雷的尸体，今日送到关丹雅富珊医院太平间解剖，其母亲珍妮及女朋友吉娜丽嘉前往医院辨认尸体是否哈雷。
今早11时，英国驻大马大使馆高级专员凯伦陪同死者母亲及女朋友到太平间，他们被带至等候室。
彭亨州总警长拿督沙利夫丁表示，疑是失踪背包客哈雷的尸体尚未确认死因，也尚未确定是不是哈雷。
他说，院方已经提取母亲珍妮的脫氧核醣核酸（DNA）以便对照，以确认该尸体是否哈雷。
他说，属于哈雷的手机已寻获，在发现死者尸体附近找到。他表示警方会根据手机线索展开调查。
他说，哈雷母亲以及女朋友会继续逗留大马。
沙利夫丁是于今天下午5时，在关丹雅富珊太平间医院召开记者会时如是表示。
尸体高度腐烂
疑是失踪英国籍背包客哈雷的尸体被寻获之后，今天半夜12时35分，使用皇家空军直升机载送至甘文丁草场，以便送进关丹雅富珊医院解剖。
据了解，尸体被发现时已呈高度腐烂，头部见骨，没有身分证，所以很难辨认。
哈雷是于5月27日下午4时未回到海龟计划的甘榜朱阿勒（Kg.Juara）村子后，当地职员及志工即刻展开搜索。
经过连续9天的搜寻后，搜寻队于昨天下午1时30分左右在该岛上找到一具男性尸体。

刁曼岛探险失踪 英汉拒导游随行
刁曼岛探险失踪 英汉拒导游随行
在刁曼岛独自探索瀑布的英国男子失踪至今已6天，度假村业者透露失踪者当时坚持独行，拒绝导游随行。
刁曼州议员拿督莫哈末佐哈里表示，根据度假村业者透露，34岁的盖勒亨特利在动身前往瀑布探索前，业者曾建议他协同当地导游一起前往，惟这项建议遭失踪者当场婉拒。
「盖勒当时表示，要独自进入奥妙的森林到瀑布去探险，婉拒聘请当地导游随行。」
他说，由於警方无法在度假村内寻获盖勒的证件，因此相信失踪者把随身证件包括护照及签证都带在身上。
他说，搜救小组目前已出动超过110人，包括警员丶消拯员丶民防部队丶志愿警卫员丶村民及警犬，进入森林里，在瀑布周遭展开搜查。
「此外，海空军也出动直升机及快艇在海岛四周搜寻，不过搜救队伍在截稿时都没有任何发现。」
据了解，盖勒的家属包括母亲在今日从英国飞抵大马，然後动身前往刁曼岛了搜救情况。
根据报导，盖勒的母亲在得悉儿子失踪後，曾经择写一封公开信至英国首相卡梅伦，促请首相向大马政府施压，加速搜寻其儿子的行动。
友人设寻人专业
喜欢冒险的失踪者盖勒，是单独前往刁曼岛参加海龟保育计划，在入住度假村後，知会工作人员指欲到瀑布探险，结果离奇失踪6天，至今尚未现身。彭亨州警方在接获投报後，已第一时间展开搜寻行动。
另外，其友人在「面子书」上设立「寻找盖勒亨特利（Find Gareth Huntley）」的专页，贴文呼吁大马警方加速寻找行动，同时呼吁其他网友极力转发专页，务必寻找到失踪者。
与此同时，「寻找盖勒亨特利」专页的负责人今日也慎重澄清，该专业至今不曾发动任何筹款运动，以作为搜寻失踪者的经费，希望民众不要上当，被不法之徒利用此事敛财。
