BUTTERWORTH: An illegal e-hailing company which has been operating here for a few months came under the spotlight when the Road Transport Department (JPJ) detained 11 of its drivers.

They were nabbed during an operation in Penang on Wednesday after authorities received complaints from e-hailing drivers’ associations, alleging that the drivers were using an illegal e-hailing application.
