‘Uber, Grabcar must follow taxi rules’


KUALA LUMPUR: Following its legalisation, ride-sharing drivers like Uber and GrabCar will be subjected to the same rules as conventional taxi drivers, said Datuk Seri Nazri Aziz.

“It is the Cabinet’s decision to allow for Uber, Grabcar and conventional taxis to have the same terms and a level playing field,” said the Tourism and Culture Minister, when asked to comment on the legalisation of e-hailing services slated to be done at the Parliament meeting next week.
