KUALA LUMPUR: The Transport Ministry plans to provide basic language and driver etiquette training for taxi drivers ahead of Visit Malaysia 2026 (VM2026), says Anthony Loke (pic).
The Transport Minister said this is important because the taxi industry is more than just transportation as it represents the heartbeat of public service and serves as the first impression of the country for tourists.
He added that the government has also extended the Social Security Organisation contribution incentive from 10% to 30% to safeguard the safety and welfare of taxi drivers.
“These reforms are ongoing, and I will continue to work with this industry to strengthen the public transport sector for the benefit of the people,” he posted on Facebook, Bernama reported.
Earlier, Loke launched the third annual general meeting of the Malaysia Taxi, Rental Car, Limousine and Airport Taxi Association.
