SPAD Officers - Where are you? (1)

This is a letter to the editor of the Sun daily newspaper highlighting the RM40 charged by a taxi driver for the ride between Pavilion, Bukit Bintang to a hotel in Pudu:




RM40 for a short taxi ride


MY parents came to KL for a holiday and I took them to Pavilion KL to shop and have dinner. As they are elderly and unable to walk a long distance, we decided to take a taxi from the shopping mall back to their hotel in Pudu.


It's a short distance from Bukit Bintang to Pudu but the cabbie insisted on charging RM40. It sickened me but we had no choice.


KL cabbies have given the city a bad image, openly fleecing Malaysians and foreigners alike. The authorities should act fast and not continue to turn a blind eye.


This is bad for tourism, bad for Kuala Lumpur, and bad for Pavilion KL.
