Ride-hailing services Uber and Grab operating in Kuala Lumpur, will have 2017 to operate in the same way as taxis, before new regulations come into force. Minister in the Prime Minister’s Department, Nancy Shukri, revealed that new legislation would be tabled in a few more months. The move, she explained, was so that "several programmes and reforms to ensure fairer conditions" could be implemented. Uber and Grab currently operate under the same laws as the taxi industry, but their presence has enraged traditional taxi drivers.
