A local Grab driver points at the Puspakom sticker attached on a Grab car. — Borneo PostThere is a need for more stringent actions against e-hailing drivers who are without the Public Service Vehicle licensing.
According to him, many full-time and part-time Grab drivers here have sat for online training and written examinations, undergone medical check-ups, obtained e-hailing insurance and Social Security , and also sent their vehicles for roadworthy verification at the Computerised Vehicle Inspection Centre – just to qualify for the PSV licensing.
“As much as we like to believe that we are abiding by the law, it seems that there are drivers from a certain e-hailing company, who do not comply with this.The law requires any e-hailing driver whose car is aged three years and above, to affix a special Puspakom sticker on their car.
“What if the driver had a criminal record? Would anyone feel safe when they absolutely have no information about the driver of the car that they’ve booked?” he questioned.
