JOHOR BARU, April 18 — The government is considering creating a regulatory body to oversee p-hailing services, which involves the delivery of parcels and food items using motorcycles.
Transport Minister Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong said it was high time this body is seen as an important requirement as part of efforts to protect the welfare of the riders.
This has become a pressing matter as currently, there is no specific body to oversee the sector, Wee said.
“I feel we need a policy just like e-hailing, which at one time was also not regulated. As such, the ministry is looking into having discussions on how we can protect the p-hailing (riders).
