Transport Ministry ultimately responsible for flight ticket prices, says Dr Wee


PETALING JAYA: With flight tickets to Tawau still costing above RM1,000, Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong wants to know what the Transport Ministry can do to bring down prices.

"Prices can still exceed RM1,000 for Kuala Lumpur to Tawau flights and there are not enough seats to accommodate demand. Can the Transport Minister do more to lower prices and increase the number of seats so that more Malaysians can pay a lower price and have the chance to return home to celebrate the festivities?
