Publish names of errant taxi drivers


Thursday December 10, 2009


Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz described devious taxi drivers
as dirtier than toilets (The Star, Dec 9) and this will remain so unless the authorities are concerned
enough to put their foot down.

Taxi drivers and public toilets are the clearest indications of the local society for any destination.
Therefore, we have nothing much to shout about apart from using empty slogans like ‘Malaysia
Truly Asia’

Other obvious bad examples are nonchalant littering, illegal dumping and reckless driving.

I suspect our authorities are still unaware that ‘broken windows’ must be fixed in order to arrest any
problem. I have proposed that enforcement on taxi drivers should be publicised in the newspapers to
deter them

Publishing the names and taxi registration numbers of the culprits would be highly effective and
drive fear into errant taxi drivers
