Crack down on irresponsible car rental operators on Langkawi


LAST Sunday morning, a rented car crashed into several parked vehicles while making a U-turn in a carpark along popular Jalan Pantai Cenang on Pulau Langkawi. It was an accident waiting to happen.

The car was driven by a 35-year-old tourist who was found to be driving under the influence of alcohol. Although he did not have a valid driving licence, the car was rented to him either by an illegal operator or by staff of a licensed car rental company who had been negligent.
