In a recent update reported by Sin Chew Daily, Raub Selamat confirmed that the driver has voluntarily surrendered to the police.

The driver, who is reportedly a teacher at a school in the district, has also been given a temporary leave of absence while awaiting further instructions from the Johor State Education Department, according to the school’s board chairman.

 

“The driver will no longer be allowed to work on any e-hailing platform”

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Transport (MOT) has instructed the Road Transport Department (JPJ) to immediately revoke the Public Service Vehicle (PSV) license of the e-hailing driver involved in the sexual harassment incident.

In a statement, Transport Minister Anthony Loke said that once the license is revoked, the driver will be barred from working on any e-hailing platform.

“MOT will not tolerate any behaviour that threatens passenger safety and is ready to support the victim in ensuring police action is taken against the perpetrator,” he said.
