DESPITE the current brouhaha on Uber car services in the country, the US-based private car service start-up is bent on further stamping its mark in the Malaysian market.

Although its operations in the country is still being questioned by some quarters, Uber is unperturbed and aims to beef up its position in the domestic car services business with its recent #MyUberPitch campaign in partnership with INTI International University and Colleges, and in collaboration with YTL Communications. This initiative is the first of its kind in Malaysia after rolling out successfully in various major cities in the United States, Australia, Russia and other countries in Asia.
