A group of taxi drivers are up in arms for not being allowed to collect RM300 in incentive payments after they missed the awards ceremony where Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng delivered a speech today.

Some 30 taxi drivers took to the third floor of Komtar, where the state government's office is, to protest what they said was an "insincere" gesture by the Penang government.

Following negotiations with state officials, the taxi drivers were offered to collect their incentive payments tomorrow at another ceremony but will have to cross over to the Penang mainland.

However, many of the upset taxi drivers are mulling on giving up on the incentive payment altogether.
