AFP - Thursday, September 18

KUALA LUMPUR (AFP) - - The ads promoting "Malaysia: Truly Asia" aim to welcome visitors with a warm smile to a prosperous and modern nation, so the taxi fleet branded "the worst in the world" can come as a bit of a shock.

Even the locals are not spared the shabby service of unkempt and hostile drivers behind the wheels of decrepit vehicles who refuse to use the meter, overcharge and pick-and-choose which destinations they will travel to.

At the popular KLCC mall under Kuala Lumpur's iconic Petronas Twin Towers is a typical scene, as a gang of cabbies negotiate with a young Norwegian couple just metres from a signboard warning against "taxi touts".

"Flat rate, flat rate, no metre," one driver insists as the tourists try to find a cab to take them to their hotel, less than two kilometres (1.2 miles) away.

Anxious to escape the baking heat, they agree to pay 25 ringgit (7.22 dollars) for a trip that would have cost less than three ringgit on the meter.

"Is it expensive? We don't know, we thought it is normal here," said the woman as they piled in with their shopping bags.

More frequent visitors, however, are vocal in their criticism and say that aggressive and unprofessional drivers are tarnishing the nation's image as a squeaky clean and hospitable destination.

"I first visited Malaysia in 2006 and I was impressed by everything I saw except for the worst taxi service I have endured," said Kabir Dali, an Indian tourist waiting in vain for a metered taxi at another mall.

"I paid a whopping 260 ringgit (74 dollars) from the Kuala Lumpur International Airport to town and was later told that was twice the proper amount."

Complaints about taxis are common in many countries, but in Malaysia it has escalated to an outpouring of frustration, on blog sites and in letters to newspapers.

In a survey by the local magazine The Expat, some 200 foreigners from 30 countries rated Malaysia the worst among 23 countries in terms of taxi quality, courtesy, availability and expertise.

The respondents lashed the fleet as "a source of national shame" and "a serious threat to tourists -- rude bullies and extortionists".

Salvation is in sight though, as a number of smaller, up-scale operators enter the market to provide a more expensive but quality taxi service for frustrated visitors and locals.

The uniformed drivers, behind the wheels of smart new multi-purpose vehicles and sedans, switch on the meter as a matter of course and do not refuse destinations -- surprising and delighting commuters in the capital.

Abdul Razak, operations manager for Dubai-based Citicab which launched here in January, said that even in poorer nations such as Thailand and Indonesia, taxis are smarter and the drivers far more courteous.

"I would say it is the worst in this region, undoubtedly. I have travelled to all countries in this region and our company operates taxis in many parts of the world. The situation here is the worst I have seen," he told AFP.

"The vehicles are in shabby condition, the driver will take you if he likes your face -- that is, if he agrees with where you want to go for the price he insists on."

The government has called on taxi firms to lift their standards, but various campaigns have achieved little, and many blame the lack of enforcement on rampant corruption in the police and bureaucracy.

"It is difficult for the roads and traffic department to take stern action," said a security officer at one city mall as he watched the touts swoop.

"Taxi operators and the company which hold the licences are all linked to some politician or another," he said. "Drivers here are ruthless because they are unchecked by authorities who are almost non-existent."

John Koldowski, from the Pacific Asia Travel Association, said that "less than desirable" taxi drivers have an outsize impact on a nation's image.

"The first contact a tourist gets with locals is often during airport transits to hotels and it creates a very, very strong first impression, either be good or bad," he said.

"Authorities certainly need to do their jobs and act upon any complaints strongly, quickly and visibly."

teringat mase naik cab kat spore... aku opened the door and mentioned the destination, uncle tu just ckp naik... naik... we're the public transport, any where public want to go, we'll get them there... huh, terkedu kejap aku, beza langit ngan bumi with cab drivers kat sini...

buDak_gaTaL

memang mengecewakan perkhidmatan teksi kat Malaysia nie...


kebanyakkan pemandu teksi lebih cenderung tetapkan harga terus berbanding guna meter..pastu harga memang cekik darah :@

dell_dimension

tak semua teksi teruk mcm tu... contoh terbaik ialah TEKSI TUNAI... bukan sahaja anda dapat sampai ke destinasi, malah berpeluang mendapat wang tunai... ( one in a million chances dapat naik teksi nie)

kashaz

that's tv program.. dlm sejuta baper org je bertuah..tu pun klu bijak lestari..and must live in kl..

teksi pun politik..so nak wat camne..klu pk logik,xkan la xleh nak banteras.. tiap2 ari berlonggok teksi kat sunway,ioi,klcc n hot spot lain

geeky

aku paling benci bile taxi driver cakap takleh anto kat location yang aku nak pegi..eiii...kalo tanak anto..takyah aa bawak teksi..:@

kashaz

plak tu,rata2 dah byk ala2 kaki samseng je..

ReuK

aku setuju tang politician tuh

ekceli diorg naik kepala sbb ada bekap kuat
enforcer xleh ambik tindakan atas org2 ni

tapi best laaa diorg
leh masuk tv
citer betapa susahnye idup diorg
yang mana puncanye ialah diorg sendiri

to me
taxi drivers are the hardest people to manage

blueiris76

so pathetic, all these happen at the expense of country's image and reputation. x gune belanja billions on klia, ads, beutifying the tourist spot kalau cab drivers macam ni punye perangai. and to make it worst, ade pulak yg backup until jadi untouchable

this afternoon, sambil aku tunggu my fren to pick me up kat klcc (isetan entrance), within 5 minutes aku tgk none of the people yg waited for cab dpt naik. even berlambak cab yg lalu, tapi semua main pilih destination je. ade sorang amoi tu sampai 3 kali kena reject

rhys88

masa aku study dulu lebih kurang 5 tahun lepas dah berlaku dah benda nih.

tanak pegi destinasi yg aku nak konon sbb jln jem lah, tak lalu situ lah..harem tolll..

baik takyah ade teksi kalo cam tuh..

tengok dah brape lama berlarutan sampai skg. still takde jln penyelesaian.

gitula kalo adenye org2 politik bangang yg campurtangan..

ada teksi yg ok dan tak ok... tapi kebanyakkannyer TAK OK... dia org tak suka guna meter especially waktu malam.. contohnyer mcm kat KL Sentral... mcm saya selalu balik dr KCH  dan ambil bas dari lcct dan turun kat KL Sentral.. turun jer dari bas tu.. banyak arr pemandu teksi yg akan serbu kat pintu bas tu tanya kita nak gi mana... tapi saya buat tak layan jer coz normally  harga yg dia org tetapkan 2 kali ganda kalau guna meter.. kalau guna meter dari kl sentral ke umah saya baru RM12 ( lepas kul 12am jadi RM18 including 50% surcharge)... tapi kalau pemandu teksi tetapkan harga , nak dia org letak RM30 sampai ke RM40..

zaery01

lagi satu .. teksi kat malaysia ni tak standard..ada mcm mcm jenis kereta yg dia org utk jadikan teksi mcm wira,iswara,waja.. kalau tak silap saya kalau kat Thailand n Indonesia , dia org guna Toyota Vios n Altis jer.. kat Singapore pun ada guna teksi yg standard(tak tahu brand apa)..
