Taxi drivers want cash, fuel subsidies

Seeing eye to eye: Rajasekaran (third from left) meeting with taxi drivers in Port Dickson, Negri Sembilan.

PORT DICKSON: Taxi drivers in this popular beach town are seeking a RM300 subsistence allowance and a diesel subsidy from the government, similar to the support that has been extended to fishermen.

“The burdens on taxi drivers are getting heavier. We hope the government will take into account the high cost of living and the escalating competition within the taxi industry,” said Port Dickson Taxi Drivers and Rental Car Owners Welfare Association secretary Haji Mohd Alwi Taib.
