E-hailing driver accused of cash scam after ride cancelled
A Malaysian recently alleged that they were ripped off by an e-hailing driver, despite the ride booking being cancelled by the driver herself. In a Threads post, the passenger claimed that the driver allegedly proceeded with the ride despite the cancellation, adding that she claimed to have 'renewed' the booking request. According to the post, the passenger had booked a ride from KL Sentral to a bank in Bangi. While en route to the passenger's drop-off point, it was alleged that the driver was eating while behind the wheel.

What's more, the passenger further alleged that the driver immediately left after they requested a receipt for the RM90 payment. Netizens were horrified by the driver's blatant misconduct and urged the passenger to lodge a police report, in addition to reporting the incident to the e-hailing platform's customer service. One user attached a screenshot showing that the typical fare for a ride from KL Sentral to Bangi ranges between RM27 and RM45, depending on traffic and peak hours.

'It is your mistake for agreeing to give her the money. I'm afraid she's used to doing this because she knows how kind Malaysians are. I hope she gets blacklisted immediately — this is cheating,' one user commented. 'Maybe this driver didn't want the platform to take a cut of her earnings and just wanted the cash—but she's still in the wrong,' another speculated.

JPJ vehicle auction rakes in RM237,000
KUALA LUMPUR: The Kuala Lumpur Road Transport Department (JPJ) has collected RM237,000 from its first public auction of the year, involving 124 seized vehicles. Its director, Hamidi Adam, said of the 124 vehicles auctioned, 108 were roadworthy, 16 were unroadworthy (scrap) and six were cloned vehicles, Bernama reported. 'We successfully auctioned off all the listed vehicles, with the highest bid received being RM27,000 for a Mitsubishi Canter tipper truck, while the lowest bid was just RM200 for a scrap Modenas motorcycle,' he told reporters after the auction session here. Hamidi said the vehicles were seized through JPJ enforcement operations for offences such as not having road tax and insurance. 'If the owners fail to claim the seized vehicles within three months, we will bring the case to court to initiate forfeiture proceedings before the vehicles are auctioned off,' he added. Elaborating further, Hamidi said this type of auction is held twice a year, and the response this time was considered encouraging although only 85 bidders participated, which was lower than the target of 100. An additional RM8,500 was collected from the sale of RM100 booklets required for all bidders, bringing the total revenue to RM245,500. Hamidi did not rule out the possibility of capping the number of participants in future auctions due to space constraints, but said efforts are underway to secure a larger venue. 'At present, our public auctions are conducted manually, but in the future, we are planning to introduce an online bidding system under the supervision of the JPJ headquarters,' he said.
