ACCORDING to deputy Transport Minister Datuk Abdul Aziz Kaprawi, the Government will make it compulsory for drivers of ride-hailing services such as Uber and GrabCar to buy commercial insurance to enable them to operate legally.
He disclosed that the Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) is still in the midst of discussions to regulate the industry, which included making it mandatory for Uber and GrabCar vehicles to undergo periodic inspections at Puspakom. This is to ensure that private vehicles are safe for people to ride in since the number of phone apps is expected to increase, he said.
