MTUC WANTS TRANSPORT FARE HIKE TO BE REVIEWED
MTUC Wants Transport Fare Hike To Be Reviewed
KUALA LUMPUR, July 17 (Bernama) — The Malaysian Trades Union Congress wants the public transport fare hike announced yesterday to be reviewed as it would burden the lower income group.
Its president, Syed Shahrir Syed Mohamud said it was the wrong time for a fare increase as the workers were badly affected by the economic slowdown.
“Their take home pay have reduced as they are not allowed to do overtime, there is no pay rise, some had their salaries cut while others are out of work.
“Imagine how difficult it is for parents to fork out more money for school and public bus fares for their children,” he said in a statement Friday.
Syed Shahrir said he regretted that the government did not seek the views of organisations representing the workers and the lower income group before announcing the fare hike.
The public transport fares will go up to 30 per cent from Aug 1.
