KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia is studying monopoly risk in the ride-hailing market in the country triggered by the merger of Grab and Uber, and is bringing the service under some existing regulations, the transport ministry said on July 11. 

Uber Technologies Inc sold its South-East Asian business to bigger regional rival Grab in March in exchange for a stake in the Singapore-based firm.
