Lawmaker Melinda Chan Mei Yi asked the government yesterday whether it should consider Uber’s petition last week as an act of organised crime.
Chan, who heads the Sin Meng Charity Association, made the remarks during a plenary debate on the government’s draft of a new taxi service regulation in the legislative hemicycle. The regulation has not been amended since 1999.
The draft suggests that the taxi-driving licence of a cabbie found breaking the regulation four times in a year would be cancelled, and the driver would then have to re-apply for it.
