SPAD - no action, talks only

An English tourist was forced to pay RM450 for a taxi ride from KL Sentral to the Suria KLCC shopping centre. The tourist paid the fare before lodging a report against the driver.

SPAD chairman Tan Sri Syed Hamid Albar said they were investigating and would take action against the taxi driver and the operator.

He said the taxi driver was believed to have threatened the tourist into paying the fee.
