According to report by The Malay Mail, five Uber drivers have been involved in a crackdown by the Road Transport Department (JPJ), under the Ops Teksi Uber 2014 operation – which begun on October 1.
Of the five vehicles involved, one was confirmed as a private vehicle, a Honda Accord, while the other four were commercial hire-and-drive cars. The owner of the Accord has been issued a summons and will face a possible fine of between RM1,000 to RM10,000 as well as a prison sentence should it be demanded. His car has been seized for 30 days pending further investigation.
The four other vehicles were returned to their respective owners – with their documents confiscated pending further investigation by the Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD). Due to a wide range of circumstances, the four vehicles could be returned to owners should proper documents and other factors correlate.
Said operation was launched earlier this month to begin a crackdown on the popular app and its operations with a task force consisting of roughly 30 personnel from the JPJ, SPAD and the police.

Comments express frustration with Malaysia's taxi services, citing issues like high prices, poor attitudes, and safety concerns, leading many to prefer Uber's more reliable and courteous service. Supporters argue that Uber offers better regulation and competition, which could benefit consumers and local taxis if integrated properly. Some comments accuse government agencies like SPAD and JPJ of inefficiency, corruption, and prioritizing cronies over public safety, highlighting selective crackdowns on Uber while neglecting existing illegal taxi operations. There's a call for legal reforms, better enforcement, and adoption of Uber's model to improve service quality. Overall, sentiment favors Uber's presence as a necessary alternative against the outdated, inefficient local taxi system, with many viewing government enforcement as insufficient or biased.
