Transport Ministry given a month to submit bike taxi proposal
The Transport Ministry has been given a month to submit a report on
the direction and mechanism for motorcycle ridesharing services to the
cabinet, said its minister Anthony Loke.
Loke said that although the cabinet yesterday agreed in principle
to the proposed service, his ministry needs to look at the overall
aspects to make the service successful, including at the models'
implemented in other countries.
“The cabinet instructed the ministry to prepare and review the legal framework on how the service can be implemented.
"So,
it does not mean we can provide the service immediately, and this
approval is not for Gojek, but approval for motorcycle ridesharing.
“So,
once the framework is in the place, and the approach is finalised, then
we will open it up for registration and any company can come in," he
told reporters after launching the Fly the Jalur Gemilang programme in
his constituency of Seremban today.
Yesterday, Entrepreneur
Development Minister Mohd Redzuan Yusof announced that the cabinet had
decided that a study of the legal aspects of the move be made first
before it could be implemented.
Commenting
further, Loke also dismissed reports that the government had already
approved Gojek’s services to implemented in the country, and also
stressed the company has not submitted any application.
“Gojek
has not submitted any application yet. They just came to give a
suggestion to the government and held a meeting with the prime minister
several days ago,” he explained.
Loke
said his ministry will take into account all aspects including legal,
insurance as well as passenger safety when preparing the mechanism
report on the motorcycle ridesharing service.
“Safety is our top
priority. We understand many ministers support this effort based on the
benefits it can generate for economic growth for micro-enterprises,
small and medium enterprises, and e-commerce.
“But, what the ministry sees is about safety. We must ensure public safety before we can implement this service,” he said.
Loke
said motorcycle ridesharing is seen as a complementary to the land
public transport system, and stressed the service would not replace
other land public transport services.
In
another development, Loke said he has asked Malaysia Airports Holdings
Bhd (MAHB) to provide clarification following the temporary system
disruption at KLIA today.
“I have not received a detailed report
yet, but I was told the incident was due to system breakdown, and of
course, it caused inconvenience to the public.
“Any inconvenient
to the public, we want to apologise, but I need further details and
expect the management of MAHB will give more clarification to the
public,” he said when asked whether he has received a report on the
disruption.
Both terminals of the KLIA are experiencing disrupted
connections which affected several airport systems such as WiFi
connection, the flight information display system, check-in-counters and
baggage handling systems.
The airport operator, Malaysia Airports
in a statement today said the disruption started last night and was in
the midst of being rectified.
