Among the participants and stakeholders represented were JoTran President Frankie Chia, Dr Ahmad Zakiy bin Tumadi, a Doctor of Public Health candidate from Universiti Malaya, Nur Haswani binti Mohd Noor, Executive Officer of PERKESO Negeri Johor, and Mohamad Rofiki bin Ismail, Head of the Commercial Vehicles Inspection and Control Unit (JISA).
