Ride-sharing firms Uber and Grab are now legal as the Dewan Rakyat passed an amendment to the Land Public Transport Act 2010 and the Commercial Vehicles Licensing Board Act 1987.<\/p>\n

Under these amendments, operators such as Uber and Grab will be required to own an intermediation business license issued by a regulatory body. These will be renewable, but operators will not be allowed to transfer or reassign them.<\/p>\n

Most importantly, the amendments will make it an offence for any person to assault, hinder or obstruct those involved in e-hailing services.<\/p>\n

Those convicted may be liable to a fine of RM1,000, imprisonment not exceeding three months, or both upon conviction.<\/p>\n

So now you can take Grab or Uber, or be a Grab or Uber driver, with ease knowing that it is now completely legal!<\/p>\n
