SEMPORNA: Boat passenger operators in Pulau Bum Bum, near here, have changed their service strategy to enable each operator earn income continuously for survival, following implementation of the Covid-19 Movement Control Order (MCO).
Semporna Balimbang Hired Boat Operators Association Chairman Nasir Abu Bakar said the initiative was agreed upon by the 75 boat operators who regarded the new move as apt during the current situation.
“We are adversely affected by the MCO and the standard operating procedure (SOP) set while there are lesser passengers now. As we understand the situation, we decided to implement the concept of taking turns (to (ferry passengers), so all will have about the same income,” he said.
