Big Blue Taxi Facilities Sdn Bhd founder Shamsubahrin Ismail, who will be organising a demonstration of taxi drivers tomorrow, has challenged special officer to the finance minister Tony Pua to face them.

Shamsubahrin is organising the demonstration in protest of Pua's revelation that the government was in talks with ride-hailing service Grab for last-mile connectivity from train stations.

"If Tony Pua is anak jantan (real man), he should come to meet us tomorrow. I will be at the front leading the demonstration," he told a press conference in Kuala Lumpur today.

Shamsubahrin claimed that some 3,000 taxi drivers will be participating in the protest.

"Why is the government negotiating with Grab?

"What about the fate of ordinary taxi drivers that queue up at LRT and MRT stations?" he said.

Shamsubahrin said he will keep organising protests until Pua, the Damansara MP, meets with them.

The protest tomorrow is expected to take place in Putrajaya.
