PUTRAJAYA - Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong has warned e-hailing service operators not to continue to pressure the government.

He said the ministry has provided many facilities to e-hailing companies, including flexibility to obtain a Public Service Vehicle (PSV) license.

"It’s not great to hear them saying that the ministry does not help them,” he said.

According to him, if the company has difficulty finding employees, the problem was not the ministry’s responsibility.

"If it's hard to find workers, don't put the blame on us.

“Don’t pressure me to regulate,“ he insisted in a press conference at the ministry on Wednesday.
