KUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Transport Minister Anthony Loke has reiterated that the government will not give in to the demands of taxi drivers who want the authorities to ban e-hailing services using private cars, in particular Grab.

He said the government was aware of the problems faced by taxi drivers, but the issues need to be looked at more thoroughly, not only from the perspective of taxi drivers but also that of passengers.
