This statement highlights the necessity of separating the roles of vehicle drivers and licensed tour guides to enhance safety and professionalism, ensuring drivers remain fully focused on the road. While automatic exemptions apply for direct point-to-point transfers involving seven passengers or fewer, MOTAC urges all operators to strictly follow licensing regulations and maintain industry integrity as the nation prepares for Visit Malaysia 2026.
