搭公共交通才知人民不便‧首相兩度擠不上車, PM unhappy with City rail services

[星洲]（布城）首相拿督斯里阿都拉今日（週四，21日）早上兩度擠不進電動火車的車廂，深深體會和感受到城市上班族乘搭公共交通上班的不便。

日理萬機的首相於週四特地微服出巡，親身體驗乘搭電動火車和輕快鐵的滋味，以及感受當中的不便，結果令首相感到很不高興，因為整個公共交通系統對人民根本並不舒適，這是必須要改善的。

阿都拉於早上8時15分在沒有官員的陪同下，到沙登電動火車站上車，然後到中環廣場轉搭輕快鐵到占米回教堂站。首相在抵達目的地時已是9時15分，車程足足1小時。

阿都拉親眼目睹了上班族在巔峰時間擠搭公共交通的苦處，並且批評火車服務欠缺系統化，車廂不足，川行路線也不廣。

首相在車廂中也與搭客閒聊，瞭解公眾的感受。

批評火車服務欠缺系統化

首相在抵達占米回教堂站後，向《馬新社》記者表明不滿意鐵道系統服務，並且促請有關方面儘速改善。

他說，搭客每天早上都需要互擠才能上到車廂，看來毫無系統。

[the star]KUALA LUMPUR: Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi took rides on the commuter and Kelana Jaya rail line from Serdang to the city centre Thursday to get a feel of the transportation problems faced by the people and came away less than satisfied.

Throughout the one-hour journey, during which he switched trains, the prime minister noted the congestion, especially during the peak hours, and spoke to his fellow passengers to get their feedback.

Speaking to Bernama after disembarking at the Masjid Jamek LRT station, he said he was not satisfied with the rail services and wanted immediate improvements to be made.

He said the existing services were not systematic, there were not enough coaches and coverage was not comprehensive, leaving many areas not serviced.

“I just saw the plight of people using the trains to get to work every morning. They were jostling to get on board every time a train arrived. There appeared to be no system.

“I’m not happy with this because the people are not getting satisfaction from riding the trains. This, we must fix,” he said.

“I found the trains really packed with so many passengers. Some had waited for three trains and yet could not board. “There’s no queue. People push their way in, women with children and old people are pushed aside,” he added.

Abdullah arrived at the Serdang Komuter KTM station at 8.15am but could not get on board the first train that arrived because it was packed.

He got on the next train, which arrived 15 minutes later, and headed for KL Sentral, the modern transportation hub for the various rail services.

There he also had to wait a while to switch to the Putra LRT service to get to the Masjid Jamek station because again, the first train to arrive was full.

On both the trains that he took, the prime minister had to stand although the passengers offered him their seats.

Upon arrival at the Masjid Jamek station at 9.15am, he chatted with members of the the public and bought several types of local cakes from the sellers there before leaving.

“There were many more suggestions given me by the passengers for my attention. I will strive for improvements, I will propose changes,” he said. – Bernama

9th aug 2008 - 雙手抽筋注射鎮定劑‧疑藥物過量男童癱瘓

布城）懷疑遭醫生注射過量鎮定劑，天真活潑的7歲男童，爸媽心目中的寶貝兒，卻癱瘓在床，不能站立，不能語言。

這起可能與醫生誤診有關的事件，事主家人是住在武吉蒲種的公寓單位，此名只能躺在床上，日常生活都需要依賴親人服侍的7歲男童，是原本就讀漢民小學的潘長健。

雪州高級行政議員郭素沁今日（週五，8日）在多位助理陪同下，親自到出事家庭，瞭解問題的來龍去脈。

頭腦遭病毒侵襲
郭素沁表示，初步判斷，長健有可能遭注射過量鎮定劑，也可能與吉隆坡中央醫院的診斷，頭腦遭病毒侵襲有關。

據長健父母潘亞財（35歲）以及黃秀雲（28歲）的追述，長健在6月22日，由於雙手不斷抽筋，被送往一家私人診所醫治。

此名醫生表明，長健只是患普通的疾病，結果為他注射兩劑鎮定藥，並說只要睡一場覺，就會沒事，然後把長健留在診所休息和觀察。

據黃秀雲披露，經過數小時後，原本頭腦清醒，還可以講話的長健，突然身體抽筋得更嚴重；結果這位醫生趕忙把他送進一家私人醫院，可是次日傍晚約7時，長健仍然昏睡不醒。

她說，此私人醫院有護士在場，親眼看見這位私人醫生再為長健注射多兩劑鎮定藥，然後以患上腦膜炎為由，把他送往彭亨路吉隆坡中央醫院接受治療。

份量屬成人才能承受
在中央醫院治病整月的期間，長健全身不知被注射了多少針，由於其雙腳彎曲，醫務人員惟有為他抹上石膏，用儀器拉直，令長健張大口似吶喊，狀極痛苦，但又發不出聲音。

根據家屬提供資料，保險公司從私人醫院索取出來的醫藥報告，以及收集的資料顯示，注射在長健身上的藥物，是屬於成人才能承受的份量。

目前長健只能躺在病床上，不能移動和語言，連大小便，也需要服侍，可說是癱瘓在床。
長健還有一位5歲的妹妹，名叫雪兒。

不能語言無法表達長健張大口神情痛苦
不能語言，不能站立的潘長健，在郭素沁細聲細語慰問時，間中會張開大口，神情似叫喊，又像很痛苦，身體也隨著扭動，卻不知道他要表達些甚麼，令旁人看了感到很心酸。

到底長健是頭腦已損壞，還是有其他原因，最後留醫的吉隆坡中央醫院也沒有給予清楚的交待，只為長健提供鬆筋藥和利便的腸胃藥，並交待可到沙登中央醫院，接受物理治療。

長期陪伴在側的家人，覺得很無助，由於長健雙親都是熟食小販，只能與親人輪流看顧長健，期間很久沒有做生意，收入也受影響。

郭素沁表示，當務之急，除了呼吁公眾人士自動捐獻，協助潘家一家四口，渡過難關之外，也將安排專科醫生為長健診斷，提供專業看法，設法使長健康復。

她也宣佈撥款2500令吉，暫時協助潘家渡過難關。

有意捐款的公眾人士，可把款項交到金鑾區州議員服務中心，或致電
017-373 4050 、 03-8070 3807 ，詢問詳情。
