A federation of 200 taxi associations says their drivers have been severely affected by the movement control order.
“We have lost 100% of our income,” Gabungan Pertubuhan Teksi, Kereta Sewa, Limosin dan Teksi Lapangan Terbang Se’Malaysia president Kamarudin Mohd Hussain said in a statement. When contacted, Kamarudin said the government should emulate Singapore, which announced last month a S$77 million programme to help taxi and private-hire car drivers affected by the pandemic.
“We hope the government will be able to help us out and for taxi companies to consider granting us a special exemption,” Kamarudin said.
