Minister of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Datuk Shahrir Samad has announed that the government has decided to give further subsidies for petrol to petrol-fueled taxis. This should help taxi drivers out abit, though most taxis in the Klang Valley area use a higher amount of NGV rather than petrol. This move will likely benefits taxis running outside of the Klang Valley. However no timeline on implementation was announced as he said the government needed some time to develop the taxi petrol subsidy system via mechanisms like fleetcards.

Some irresposible taxi driver will make something out of this. just like those fisherman. the true crap is the consortium. They make a lot of money getting their permit from the LPKP. Cronisme.
I like the picture
Just kidding maybe only GILA TAXI will get the Subsidies
we wouldn’t know wat taxi driver will do
They will use the taxi to drive their family around.
Ya right, the next thing we going to see is the taxi drifting competition at the midnight. most of the passeger come out will be vomiting after reaching their destination. Ha!~
Hmm, with this it will be like one or two years before taxi’s get any benefits
in the era of a flip-flop government …….do expect a flip-flop decision as well as unwise decision
what?!! I hope this is not gonna to be another half-baked idea from the govt.
i suspect this would mostly benefit the cronies and the ppl with “cable”. I mean, since when the GOVT hears from the the dear Rakyat?
