Lee Jae-ung Criticizes Ministry of Land for Promoting Passenger Transport Act Amendment with Tada... "Are They Mocking?"

"Outraged: 'Instead of Apologizing and Taking Measures, They Mocked'"

[Asia Economy Reporter Jin-gyu Lee] Former Socar CEO Lee Jae-woong criticized the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, which promoted the amendment to the Passenger Transport Service Act by mentioning Tada, saying, "Are you mocking the people?" on the 17th.

On the same day, Lee posted on his Facebook, "I couldn't sleep all night after seeing the Ministry of Land's website," and claimed, "They amended the law to specifically prohibit a legally operated service and then posted it on the ministry's website using the name of that service."

He continued, "The government, which is operated with taxpayers' money, is mocking thousands of citizens who lost their jobs overnight due to the law amendment and the citizens who suffered hundreds of billions in investment losses, instead of apologizing and preparing countermeasures," expressing his indignation.

He also criticized, "Tada was legally registered as a rental car business under current law and was providing a driver referral service within the system," adding, "The Ministry of Land, which recognized this for one year and four months, prohibited it, causing the service to shut down, and now not only denies that it is a prohibition law but also mocks us."

Furthermore, he pointed out, "Is it acceptable for the Ministry of Land to do this when countless drivers lose their jobs due to Tada's closure, numerous Tada users face inconvenience, and Tada investors who lost hundreds of billions cannot say anything?" and asked, "Can the government treat its citizens like this?"

He uploaded a screenshot of the Ministry of Land's website promoting the amendment with phrases such as "Tada is increasing and diversifying" and "Not the Tada Prohibition Law but the Mobility Innovation Law" on his Facebook.

Meanwhile, after the amendment to the Passenger Transport Service Act passed the National Assembly on the 6th, the 11-passenger van call service "Tada Basic" could no longer operate as before. Consequently, Lee stepped down as Socar CEO a week after the amendment's passage.
