The transport ministry plans to provide taxi drivers in Malaysia with basic language and etiquette training ahead of Visit Malaysia 2026 (VM2026), transport minister Anthony Loke has said.
In addition, the government has also extended the social security organisation (Perkeso) contribution incentive from 10% to 30% to safeguard the welfare taxi drivers, Loke said. “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 added.
The announcement from the transport minister came as he officiated the third annual general meeting of the Malaysia Taxi, Rental Car, Limousine and Airport Taxi Association. Loke said he believes that meaningful reforms in the sector can only be implemented through close collaboration with players in the industry, such as the association.

I think they should get rid of the old taxis and also not allow smaller vehicles like axia/myvi/iriz to operate in airport as you know luggage space will be an issue.
Useless morons these taxi drivers ,v rude,rough and deadly slow driving is their absolute speciality,c the face also feel like yuk,they r a true black spot on Malaysia image , luckily grab and other modes r ON to combat these morons ,
taxi drivers are hopeless in this industry. they have all been replaced by e-hailing. they might as well pick up new skills like car repairs.
Why does it have to be purposefully for VMY 2026? Why did they not put this course into JPJ syllabus for taxi drivers ady… Failed Gomen.
charge extra for luggage then only driver will treat luggage nicely
