Premium Big Blue owner Datuk Shamsubahrin Ismail says the Land Public Transport Commission's lack of enforcement is allowing unscrupulous taxi drivers to rip off customers. – The Malaysian Insider pic by Najjua Zulkefli , January 19, 2015.The owner of Premium Big Blue taxi company Datuk Shamsubahrin Ismail today accused the Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) of not being serious in conducting its enforcement, allowing unscrupulous taxi drivers to rip off their customers.He claimed that “political involvement" in the taxi industry was also one of the reasons the industry had acquired its bad reputation and urged the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) to start an investigation into the matter, especially those involving budget taxis."If there is interference from politicians, please take action, because you cannot transform the industry if politicians are involved," he told press conference in Kuala Lumpur today.Shamsubahrin claimed most major taxi companies would receive support from politicians, especially to obtain permits for their companies, which was the norm before SPAD took over the overseeing of the industry in 2010.Refusing to provide details, he claimed that most of the companies with political links could easily get around 2,000 permits compared with only two or three permits for those without connections.Shamsubahrin said he was willing to cooperate with MACC if called up by the anti-graft body."If MACC calls me, then I will give my cooperation," he said.In the meantime, he said SPAD officers appeared to be reluctant to act against the unscrupulous taxi drivers and were not serious when conducting enforcement.He said that if SPAD ignored its enforcement activities, problems such as overcharging would never be solved. – January 19, 2015.
