Coalition appeals to govt to look into welfare of cabbies and taxi companies during MCO

Saturday, 04 Apr 2020 10:44 AM MYTGPST said taxi drivers have seen their earnings drop by as much as 90 per cent following the Covid-19 outbreak and implementation of the movement control order in March. — Malay Mail pic

The coalition, which claims to represent over 100 taxi companies nationally, wants the government to consider several proposals, such as offering a zero or minimum tax rate to taxi companies, giving additional subsidies on top of Social Security Organisation contributions and providing benefits granted to the small and medium enterprises to all taxi companies regardless of paid-up capital.

Shalahuddin also said GPST has suggested three possible measures to alleviate the concerns and financial implications to taxi drivers, such as doing away with taxi rental and the deferment of taxi rental and/or discounted taxi rental from drivers to the company, during this trying time.
