The Government is considering the legalisation of ridesharing apps Uber and Grabcar, on the condition they abide to certain guidelines. Deputy Transport Minister Datuk Abdul Aziz Kaprawi said a workshop would be held involving the Ministry and the Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) to discuss and achieve a solution before an official announcement is made. Among the proposed rules were for the driver to obtain a public service vehicle (PSV) license, their cars to be regularly inspected by Puspakom, and to obtain insurance coverage to protect their passengers. "The Government will take into consideration the views of all parties, especially those who see Uber and Grabcar as convenient to ride. It is unfair to stop it from operating," he told the Malay daily.
