KUALA LUMPUR: As of April 10, this year, only 35 of the 200,000-odd e-hailing vehicles in the country have undergone Puspakom inspection.
In view of this, Puspakom Sdn Bhd chief executive officer Mohammed Shukor Ismail is urging e-hailing drivers not to wait until the last minute before sending their vehicles for the inspection.
“This is to avoid any problems such as not getting approved within the stipulated time or congestion at the last minute,” he said in a press conference here today.
He added that for the convenience of the e-hailing vehicle drivers, Puspakom has extended its operations hours to seven days a week at 19 selected branches.
Mohammed Shukor said these drivers also do need not get their Public Service Vehicle (PSV) licences first before sending their cars for the Puspakom inspections.
Beginning July, the government will enforce tighter rules for e-hailing services in the country. – Bernama
