There's been a rise in the usage of micro-mobility vehicles (or what we typically know as e-Scooters) on the road lately. Transport minister Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong has announced that the government will introduce a by-law to regulate the use of these vehicles. We discuss what this legislation might look like, and how it would affect the sale of these vehicles, as well as road safety overall.
