Have a heart, says MP over fines for delivery riders

[superadmin]

PETALING JAYA: Enforcement authorities must exercise discretion and be compassionate when issuing compounds to e-hailing workers, Segambut MP Hannah Yeoh said.

In a statement today, she said six e-hailing delivery riders had complained that they were compounded at two different locations while eating at an open field by the side of the road.

She said their compounds stated that they had to go to the district health office to pay the amount.

“I appeal to enforcement officers to exercise discretion, and understand the reality out there. Their (delivery riders’) income is not enough to pay compounds,” she said.
