Transport Minister Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong (pic), in a statement on Tuesday (Jan 19), said the decision was to enable part-timers or freelancers to continue their activities to generate income for themselves during the pandemic. "For businesses involving delivery of goods under the categories of Lori Pembawa A and Lori Pembawa C, they are required to have the operator licence, ” he said. Dr Wee said there was a need for the Transport Ministry (MOT) to study the use of private vehicles for goods delivery by entrepreneurs whose sources of income, particularly those involved in the gig economy, had been compromised due to the pandemic to enable them to sustain their side income and business activities and their families.
