IPOH: The Road Transport Department (JPJ) has seized a car and detained its driver who had allegedly overcharged a foreign tourist recently at KL International Airport (KLIA).
Transport Minister Anthony Loke said an investigation paper has been opened into the incident, which went viral on social media two days ago.
"In the incident, the tourist was said to have been forced to pay RM800 before being allowed to alight from the car, after initially being quoted RM60 for a ride.
"A covert operation was held at KLIA where we apprehended the driver and his car at Terminal 2," he said in a post on his Facebook page on Monday (Sept 22).
"There will be no compromise towards these drivers who mar the country's image," he added.
