December 9, 2009 | Cab drivers and toilets top tourists' nightmares in Malaysia | Kuala Lumpur: A minister has revealed that the behaviour of dishonest taxi drivers is worse than the condition of toilets in Malaysia. Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz, from the Prime
Minister's Department, said taxi drivers take advantage of tourists by refusing to use
meters. "If you ask tourists, the first thing they complain about is our taxi drivers. Their
second is dirty toilets," the Star Online quoted him as saying. "(The behaviour of) our
drivers is worse than the toilets," he said. Nazri added that passengers should
report such behaviour to the Commercial Vehicle Licensing Board (CLVB) to help
discipline errant drivers. "Do not compromise because we don't want them to be
gangsters," he said. "We want good drivers, which many of them are. Only a few
bad apples behave this way, hence painting a bad image of the country," he stated.
Nazri also revealed that there were 1,232 reports of errant taxi drivers from
January to November this year, and a total of 134 cases were dealt with in November
alone while 320 were under investigation. "We have increased the taxi fare to
accommodate drivers' plight but sadly their behaviour hasn't improved," he added. |
