KUALA LUMPUR, July 18 (Bernama) - Taxi drivers who are courteous and
disciplined can become significant contributors to the tourism industry
and will lure more foreign tourists to visit Malaysia.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said this is in line with the government objective to ensure that the public and tourists enjoy a world class taxi service.
"Excellent taxi service is not only because of the 'beautiful' vehicles. The drivers also need to be 'beautiful' in terms of behaviour and character.
"When carrying passengers, smile and become courteous taxi drivers. Say thank you after getting paid. These are the ingredients of good taxi drivers," he said in his speech at 'Majlis Janji Ditepati - Pemberian Lesen Teksi Individu' here, Thursday.
Also present is the chairman of the Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD), Tan Sri Syed Hamid Albar.
