PD taxi drivers request for same allowance and diesel subsidy accorded to fishermen

Pakatan Harapan's candidate G. Rajasekaran (fourth from left) engages in a meaningful dialogue with a friendly Port Dickson taxi driver during the campaign trail.

PORT DICKSON: There should be equal treatment from the government for a subsistence allowance of RM300 and a diesel subsidy, similar to what is provided to fishermen, say taxi drivers.

The Port Dickson Taxi Drivers and Rented Car Owners Welfare Association secretary Mohd Alwi Taib said the government used to grant taxi drivers a diesel subsidy amounting to RM800 but the aid was eventually withdrawn.
