Tourism, Transport ministries in talks over which should regulate tour vehicles
KUALA LUMPUR: The Transport Ministry is discussing with the Tourism, Arts and Culture Ministry the possibility of allowing the latter to regulate tour vehicles, including buses. Deputy Transport Minister Datuk Hasbi Habibollah said discussions were still at a preliminary stage and involved multiple ministries due to the complexities surrounding vehicle regulation. "That matter is still at the discussion stage between ministries, as there are still many aspects that need to be looked into. "Regulating tour buses, as you can imagine, involves a lot of procedures such as testing and so on, which require thorough discussion," he said briefly when met after attending Keretapi Tanah Melayu Bhd's Jelajah Ria 2.0 Programme. Yesterday, the Tourism, Arts and Culture Ministry had called for control over tourism-related vehicles such as buses to be returned to it, citing a loss of confidence in Malaysian road safety among various countries. It had said in a statement that parties involved in tourism and student exchange programmes from Asean, the Middle East, China, Japan and South Korea had expressed their concerns to the ministry. It had said there was a lack of confidence in Malaysia's tourism transport safety assurance mechanisms among these countries following the bus crash in Gerik which saw 15 Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris students killed and many others injured. "We will continue to monitor those with prior offences who remain defiant. We don't sweep such matters under the carpet," said Hasbi.

Floating book fair to make 23-day stop in Labuan next month
THE ship MV Doulos Hope, home of an iconic floating book fair, will dock at Labuan Port from July 7 to 29. The 23-day stay is part of the vessel's ongoing South-East Asia voyage, following its recent stop in Magong, Taiwan, and ahead of its journey to Puerto Princesa in the Philippines. MV Doulos Hope, operated by GBA Ships, is widely known for hosting one of the world's largest travelling book fairs at sea. Onboard, visitors can browse thousands of titles ranging from children's publications to academic works and world literature, all offered at affordable prices, reported Bernama. The unique attraction aims to promote literacy, education and cross-cultural understanding through its global tour. Labuan Port operator Megah Port Management Sdn Bhd confirmed the vessel's arrival, with its managing director Datuk Seri Patrick Tiong saying that the extended port call was expected to bring positive economic spillovers to the island. Due to limited capacity, visitors are encouraged to book online for entry slots, while safety protocols will be enforced to manage crowd flow. Other than Labuan, MV Doulos Hope will also be docking in Kota Kinabalu from Aug 20 to Sept 10. These will be the only Malaysian stops for the vessel this year.
