KUALA LUMPUR: The Women, Family and Community Development Ministry supports the participation of women riders in providing motorcycle taxi services such as Dego Ride. Its deputy minister, Hannah Yeoh, said this was in keeping with the needs of the job sector which required women in various roles. “The most important thing is for us to ensure the safety of women riders is attended to by all parties,” Yeoh said. The minister said today that government assistance should be channeled to all those in need irrespective of race or religion. “If there is a need, the public’s money must be provided for the well-being of all,” she added.
