Oh, no!
The Road Transport Department (JPJ) will begin a nationwide crackdown beginning October 1st against drivers providing transportation services using the UBER app on smartphones.
JPJ director-general Datuk Seri Ismail Ahmad mentioned that private vehicles found providing the taxi-like services would be impounded.
Individuals or companies providing the services could also be fined between RM1,000 and RM10,000 or jailed up to one year.
Using private vehicles as public transport is an offence under Section 16 of the Land Public Transportation Act 2010.
Taxis and limousines using the UBER app would not be affected.
Please, please, please let UBER continue on as normal! 🙁
