KUALA LUMPUR, April 13 (Bernama) -- The Peninsular Malaysia Road Transport Officers Union has supported a call for the Commercial Vehicle Licensing Board (CVLB) to come under the purview of the Transport Ministry as it would enhance public transportation.
Its president, Hamzah Masri said the move could solve problems besetting the public transportation system by streamlining the dissemination of information under one agency or ministry.
"There will be no more blame game and overlapping enforcement by the agencies involved which had caused unhappiness among officers.
"Matters related to fines, complaints, licences, permits and enforcement can be streamlined if CVLB comes under the Transport Ministry," he told Bernama when contacted today.
He was commenting on Transport Minister Datuk Seri Ong Tee Keat's proposal that the CVLB status be reviewed when it was placed under a new ministry so that it could effectively handle problems related to taxi drivers.
Before the new Cabinet line-up was announced, the CVLB came under the Entrepreneur and Cooperatives Development Ministry but that ministry has since been abolished.
