Current issues, feedback & complaints on public services in Malaysia
ON March 20, the attendant at the LCCT taxi counter refused to sell me a budget taxi coupon on the excuse that my suitcase was too big and the queue long.
I insisted on budget taxi because there were only my daughter and me sharing one suitcase and we are both quite skinny. No need to use a chopper to kill a fly, right? I also told her that queuing was my problem, not hers.
But she insisted we took a premier taxi costing over RM90 to Kuala Lumpur. On learning that both taxi counters belong to the same company, we took the bus to KL Sentral and from there, a budget taxi – a Proton Saga, same as those in LCCT – to hotel. It was a comfortable ride.
The total cost? RM30, plus a little more time. Shame on you LCCT taxi company!
REFUSED TO BE CONNED,
Kota Kinabalu.

orang malaya: Haha.. If you want to to insult other better make it sound intelligent as right now your comment sound too “personal” and moronic. Maybe you got some grudge with the east malaysian people. Got dumped maybe?
Back to this post. Yup, they(taxi operator) will first access you, if you can be duped into paying more money. A very simple way of conning people…
