Luyang's state assemblyperson Phoong Jin Zhe has called for the Sabah state government to reconsider its decision to ban e-hailing services from inter-district travel after an e-hailing driver in Kota Kinabalu was fined RM5,000 by the police for transporting an essential worker across districts.

He also urged Transport Minister Wee Ka Siong to help out the e-hailing driver who was fined, as the minister had previously said all public transport services including taxis and e-hailing cars can operate during the movement control order (MCO) with a permission letter from his ministry.
