Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has honored taxi drivers, recalling how they supported him during his difficult times in 1998 when he was arrested, beaten, and imprisoned. Speaking at the launch of a special financial aid scheme for taxi, rental car, and school bus drivers, Anwar highlighted the challenges these drivers face due to competition from e-hailing services and pledged to find ways to alleviate their burden.
