Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim on children injured in taxis and private-hire cars
Between 2018 and 2022, 48 children under the age of 12 were injured in taxies, while for private-hire cars within the same period, 63 children under the age of 12 were injured. These figures were shared by Minister of State for Home Affairs Muhammad Faishal Ibrahim in Parliament on Tuesday (Feb 28). He said 35 of those children injured in private-hire cars were not wearing seat belts and 28 were not secured using child restraints or seat belts while on a booster cushion. Replying to an MP's question, he noted that there is no available data on whether children injured in taxies were seated in child restraints or wearing seatbelts, as the use of child restraints and seat belts when seated in a booster cushion for passengers under 1.35 metres in height is not required for taxis.
