Angry cabbies suing SPAD

Hear us out: A group of taxi drivers holding a protest at the High Court in Kuala Lumpur where they filed the lawsuit.

KUALA LUMPUR: About 100 taxi drivers are suing the Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) for alleged negligence in taking pro-active action to ban Uber, GrabCar and Blacklane, which they claimed have affected their livelihood.

They are applying for a court order to SPAD to issue a guideline and a circular on agreed terms to ban the three car-booking app operators who they claimed charged lower rates.
