Penang's taxi -the king of the road

Pg's taxis are the only ones in the country that can thump thier noses at the law and get away with it. Despite getting the highest rates (payment) in the country, they can still refuse to use the meters. They are given the license to fleece the public or as the taxis see it "charge what the market can bear"....like all true and pure capitalists......(they can, provided they pay for their diesel or petrol at market can bear prices without any subsidies.......)

They are supposed to abide by the meter rule by the 1st of may.....now this deadline has been shifted to accomodate them...ostensibly so that they can get their meters calibrated and approved by Puspakom.....as Dr. Choong rightly said....why fixed a date when you do not planned ahead to get things ready for compliance......then again only in Malaysia.....
