Demonstration at Singapore LTA office too

Factory bus drivers was heard to hold a demonstration at the Sultan Iskandar Building in Johor Baru this morning.

At the CIQ this morning, two factory bus drivers left their buses and blocked the CIQ in a protest against Malaysia charging "toll" for use of the Eastern Dispersal Link into Singapore. The four years overdue toll charges is being drummed up by DAP as increase in toll by 570%.

After they have practised their democratic rights, which Malaysia is more open to these days, these bus drivers should do the same at the Singapore's Land Transport Authority at the old Kandang Kerbau Hospital at1 Hemphshire Road, Singapore.

Do block the road with few buses at Singapore's CIQ. See how democratic SIngapore is to dissenting views. After all, Singapore should be open to dissenting views since they fund and particpate in demonstrations to sabotage Rapid Pengerang to save their smuggling business.

This morning on the first day of the toll charges for EDL highway charged at the CIQ, factory buses had jammed up the bus lane to Singapore with a demonstration. This had disrupted other public buses making their way to Singapore.

The demosntrators demanded that the tol charges be revived back to the old rates.Otherwise, the same demonstration will occur tomorrow.

There was negotation between the leader, one Chandran P. Gopa with the the Pengarah Lembaga L/ raya Malaysia Bhgn. Selatan En Mohamed Ridzuan bin Jahidin with the offer is a Touch N Go card offer of RM10 each for 200-400 pieces as short term measure.

The payment mode for entry will use the Touch and Go card.

One eye witness source said it was stage by two bus drivers who blocked the bus route about a few metres from CIQ tolling. The two drivers then refused to bulge.

However it was not a demonstration but made to look like one.

Hopefully they would be fair to do a similar thing in Singapore. Do not blame one side and keep quiet on the other party involved also. 

See if they can ever return to Singapore.
