The government has suspended the implementation of the Legislative Instrument (LI) seeking to prohibit preaching and hawking in moving vehicles, particularly on public transport.
The decision follows public concerns over the proposed restrictions, which form part of measures aimed at improving road safety by reducing distractions for drivers and passengers.
The suspension puts the enforcement of the proposed measures on hold, pending further developments.
The proposed LI had attracted attention because of its potential implications for religious activities and street trading on public transport.
Further details on the reasons for the suspension and the next steps regarding the proposed legislation are expected to clarify the government’s position.
