New laws tabled to regulate ride-hailing, protect drivers


KUALA LUMPUR: Laws have been tabled in Parliament that will regulate ride-hailing or e-hailing services while protecting their drivers from being harassed or assaulted.

One Bill seeks to introduce an intermediation business licence that would legalise these e-hailing services by defining their vehicles as public service vehicles, following amendments to the Commercial Vehicles Licensing Board Act 1987 and the Land Public Transport Act 2010.
