Taxi drivers to undergo language, etiquette training ahead of Visit Malaysia 2026
The Transport Minister said this is important because the taxi industry is more than just transportation and also represents the heartbeat of public service and serves as the first impression of the country for tourists.
He added that the government has also extended the Social Security Organisation (Perkeso) contribution incentive from 10% to 30% to safeguard the safety and welfare of taxi drivers.
"These reforms are ongoing, and I will continue to work with this industry to strengthen the public transport sector for the benefit of the people," he posted on Facebook.
Earlier, Loke officiated the third annual general meeting of the Malaysia Taxi, Rental Car, Limousine and Airport Taxi Association, which gave him the opportunity to hear for himself the industry's views.
Loke said as Transport Minister, he believes that meaningful reforms in the sector can only be implemented through close collaboration with industry players, such as the association. – Bernama

Is it worth the trouble to train taxi drivers?
I DON'T know whether to laugh or cry when reading the Bernama report 'VM2026: Gov't Plans Language, Etiquette Training for Taxi Drivers ‒ Loke' published last Sunday. It was reported that Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook emphasised that taxi drivers play a crucial role as the first point of contact for visitors, shaping their initial impression of the country. He said: 'The taxi industry is more than just transportation, but represents the heartbeat of public service and serves as the first impression of the country for tourists. The initiative is part of broader efforts to improve public transport quality ahead of the anticipated tourism surge in 2026.' To me, it was like stepping back in time when I drove metered taxis in the Klang Valley from 2000 to 2010. For Visit Malaysia 2007, taxi drivers were trained under the old two-day Mesra Malaysia programme, which I did not attend as I was one of the certified trainers for this course. Later in July 2012, the Tourism Taxi Ambassadors programme was launched by then prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak at Dataran Putra. In attendance were tourism minister Datuk Seri Dr Ng Yen Yen, several other cabinet ministers, and more than 500 taxi drivers assembled there. Training had commenced earlier in March and as of June 28, about 2,315 taxi drivers have been selected to undergo training. It was reported that some 4,000 taxi drivers will be appointed as ambassadors after they have completed a one-day course at the Malaysian Tourism Centre. During the launching ceremony, Najib told taxi drivers they are the 'pulse of the ecosystem' for tourism as they meet and interact with tourists who come to the country, and well-trained taxi drivers can help shape and improve tourists' perception of Malaysia. He said, 'If taxi drivers are polite, courteous, and customer-friendly, speak good things about the country, and show a positive attitude, tourists will feel welcome. Tourists meet thousands of taxi drivers and through their interactions, tourists' perception of Malaysia is formed.' He said the government decided to appoint taxi drivers as tourism ambassadors as it realises that cabbies are the front-liners in welcoming and interacting with tourists and explained that taxi drivers have been trained and given guidance on how to project a good image of Malaysia. But all the hype and training had largely been in vain, and I should know. I trained taxi drivers in 2014 under different programmes for taxi companies and government agencies, including the Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) for 1,000 Teksi 1Malaysia (TEKS1M) drivers. The 2012 Tourism Taxi Ambassadors programme was introduced as taxi drivers were seen as a vote bank and influencers in the 2013 General Elections. The training did not stop Kuala Lumpur from having the worst taxi drivers in the world in 2015, as ranked by In 2014, Uber was introduced to Malaysia, forcing MyTeksi to also using private cars to compete and morph into Grab. Instead of continuing to rent permits, cabbies switched to private cars and ran more trips than taxi drivers, as passengers could hire them easily and even pay less. As a result, most taxi drivers switched to e-hailing, leaving only the stubborn and still trying to fix fares, or those who could not learn how to receive bookings via apps, especially the elderly. Now, these taxi drivers wait patiently for long hours at train stations or shopping malls for passengers. If they could be roped in to attend training on language and etiquette, they must surely rank as the most difficult to train participants in the world. In any case, domestic and foreign visitors have been using e-hailing apps back home and when they travel, and hardly use local taxis. Therefore, announcing the plan to train taxi drivers during the third annual general meeting of the Malaysia Taxi, Rental Car, Limousine and Airport Taxi Association appears to be a move just to win over taxi drivers. But the number and role is a pale shadow of their former self. ‒ July 29, 2025 YS Chan is master trainer for Mesra Malaysia and Travel and Tours Enhancement Course and an Asean Tourism Master Trainer.

No buts about it: Heavy vehicle speed limiter rule to be enforced from Oct 1, says Loke
KUALA LUMPUR: Commercial vehicles not equipped with a speed limitation device (SLD) will not be allowed on roads as they will fail vehicle inspections once phased enforcement of the system begins on Oct 1. Transport Minister Anthony Loke (pic) said implementation of the SLD is a crucial step in controlling the speed of heavy vehicles and reducing the risk of fatal accidents, particularly involving buses and lorries. Such systems are mandatory in Singapore and in European countries, he added. "Although I am aware that some industry players may push back, citing additional costs and so on, human lives must take precedence when it comes to road safety. "I hope all Yang Berhormat (MPs) will support the government's efforts to ensure smooth implementation. ALSO READ: Slapping a limit on road giants "Any opposition should be addressed by making it clear that safety must take priority over costs and business profits,' he said during Minister's Question Time in the Dewan Rakyat on Tuesday (July 29). Datuk Dr Richard Rapu @ Aman Begri (GPS-Betong) wanted to know the impact of SLD enforcement, its cost and maintenance, the implications of system failure, and whether or not other countries have made SLD mandatory. Loke said SLD enforcement will be carried out in three phases. Phase 1, starting Oct 1, involves the verification of SLD functionality for all commercial vehicles manufactured after Jan 1, 2015. Phase 2, effective from Jan 1 next year, involves activating SLD within the electronic control unit (ECU) of commercial vehicles built before Jan 1, 2015. Phase 3 will require the retrofit installation of SLDs with approval from the Road Transport Department (JPJ) on any commercial vehicles not already equipped with the system and will be enforced from July 1 next year. ALSO READ: Heavy vehicle speed limiter rule to be enforced from October Fathul Huzir Ayob (PH-Gerik) had asked if the ministry intends to mandate automatic "cut-off" systems on buses and lorries to limit speeds or stop vehicles if safety rules are ignored. SLD is an automatic speed control system that electronically limits a vehicle's speed through its ECU to regulate speed without shutting off the engine, thereby maintaining operational safety. Loke said the system applies to all commercial vehicles, specifically goods vehicles with a gross vehicle weight (GVW) exceeding 3,500kg and passenger vehicles with a GVW exceeding 5,000kg and carrying more than eight passengers. ALSO READ: How do speed limiters protect everyone on the road? To Fathul Huzir's supplementary question about the integration of safety systems such as automatic emergency braking, electronic stability control and real-time monitoring systems alongside the SLD, as well as the introduction of black boxes for commercial vehicles, Loke said the ministry is considering these proposals. He said stakeholder engagement sessions will be necessary to ensure implementation is carried out efficiently and in an orderly manner. – Bernama

Tourism players urged build on Tawau's nature tourism strength
STB chief executive officer Julinus Jimit talking to tourism stakeholders in Tawau. KOTA KINABALU: Tawau's reputation as an eco-tourism destination on Sabah's east coast was reinforced during an engagement session organised by the Sabah Tourism Board with local tourism players on Tuesday (July 29). State Tourism, Culture and Environment Minister Datuk Seri Christina Liew highlighted Tawau's appeal to nature lovers, conservation advocates, and eco-conscious travellers, urging stakeholders to build on this strength. "Places like Tawau Hills Park offer not just towering tropical trees and rare species, but real opportunities for birding, nature photography, and wildlife experiences that more travellers are now looking for," she said in a speech delivered by her assistant minister Datuk Joniston Bangkuai, who is also Sabah Tourism Board chairman. Liew noted that the district has long attracted researchers and conservationists due to its biodiversity and emphasised the importance of connecting destinations like Tawau to markets that value meaningful, community-driven travel experiences. Currently, Tawau is served by five airlines: Malaysia Airlines, MASwings, Firefly, AirAsia, and Batik Air, with 154 weekly flights from Kuala Lumpur, Johor, Kota Kinabalu, and Sandakan, offering over 27,000 seats. Liew said Tawau's strong air connectivity is not the issue, but building on its strengths to position it as a destination in its own right rather than just a stopover is crucial. The minister called for better collaboration between tourism operators, local communities, and government agencies to ensure that strategies are grounded in reality. She stated that the Sabah Tourism Board will continue its efforts under the Explore Sabah campaign, designed to complement Visit Malaysia 2026 while driving domestic and international arrivals to districts like Tawau. During the engagement, STB chief executive officer Julinus Jimit provided updates on the current tourism outlook, ongoing efforts under the state's Explore Sabah campaign, and the potentials for Tawau. The session is part of ongoing efforts to keep tourism development inclusive and aligned with Sabah's overall direction.
