KUALA LUMPUR: The first step to legalising e-hailing services such as Uber and Grab took place when amendments allowing for it in the Land Public Transport Act 2010 and the Commercial Vehicles Licensing Board Act 1987 were passed by the Dewan Rakyat on Thursday.

The amendments, will also have to be passed by the Dewan Negara, obtain Royal Assent and be gazetted before they come into force.
