In a statement, he said the government understands the important role that micromobility plays.
"A comprehensive plan and guidelines spanning various ministries, agencies and local councils is at the final stage of completion and will be unveiled shortly," he added.
This comes almost a week after former prime minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak called on Putrajaya to facilitate the use of micromobility transportation instead of banning it.
He had said it can play an important tool as first mile and last mile connectivity, refering to the journey taken by the public on public transportation, including the LRT, KTM Komuter, monorail and MRT.
Last month, Wee had said the ban had been gazetted under Road Traffic Rules and had been in effect since Dec 17. The ban covers mopeds, electric scooters and personal mobility aids.
