Issuance of more individual taxi permits long overdue


ANYONE who takes a taxi regularly will observe two things – our cabbies love to talk politics and they constantly complain about having to deduct their day’s takings by RM50 to the company that actually owns their permits.

Thus when Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak announced on Sunday that a new model aimed at enabling more drivers to get individual permits is being put in place, the 25,000 taxi drivers and family members present had every reason to cheer loudly.
