Ride-hailing company Maxim Malaysia has announced that the company has received a final approval letter from the Land Public Transport Agency (APAD) to continue nationwide operations, marking the end of the three-month review period.
“With this final approval, Maxim is ready to enter a stronger phase of growth in Malaysia. We will continue improving our services, expanding our reach and ensuring a safe and reliable experience for passengers and driver-partners,” Maxim Malaysia director Mohd Hazwan Musley said, adding that the platform enables economic participation, particularly for those whom e-hailing is their primary income source.
“These steps reflect our commitment not only to regulatory compliance but also to strengthening passenger safety, driver welfare and community support. Maxim has demonstrated that it is a necessary and competitive player in Malaysia’s e-hailing landscape, helping reduce market monopoly and improving mobility across all states,” he said.
To jog your memory, APAD in May revoked Maxim’s and rival InDrive’s permits for reportedly failing to meet certain conditions, especially regarding e-hailing vehicle permit (EVP) requirements. On July 24, APAD allowed both companies to resume operations, subject to a three-month review.
Maxim says it submitted all required reports during the review period and that it has done an internal audit of public service vehicle (PSV) and EVP licences, updated its driver onboarding process and implemented more rigorous inspection to ensure full driver licensing compliance.

Because undertable is never mentioned until he goes to prison? Mark my word, he will when the Gomen changes.
wah! you expect ppl to be in prison 1st, then only proof will come out? if you expect any judge to give such a sentence just because you create your own story, mark my word that the judge will sentence you to prison for perjury.
Good, this will give Grab some competition in riders and drivers.
