E-hailing driver fined RM5k, rep wants Sabah public transport travel ban reviewed

Luyang's state assemblyperson Phoong Jin Zhe has called for the Sabah state government to reconsider its decision to ban e-hailing services from inter-district travel after an e-hailing driver in Kota Kinabalu was fined RM5,000 by the police for transporting an essential worker across districts.

He also urged Transport Minister Wee Ka Siong to help out the e-hailing driver who was fined, as the minister had previously said all public transport services including taxis and e-hailing cars can operate during the movement control order (MCO) with a permission letter from his ministry.
