KOTA KINABALU: Taxi drivers staged a peaceful demonstration on Saturday (Nov 17) morning, calling on the state government to grant them exclusive rights to transport passengers from Kota Kinabalu International Airport (KKIA).

KKIA Limousine and Taxi Association president Shamsuddin Mohd Shah said it was getting increasingly difficult for cabbies to earn a living amid competition from e-hailing operators such as Grab.
