The Land Public Transport Commission (SPAD) is continuing its offensive against illegal taxi operators – in the most recent clampdown, six illegal taxis were apprehended during a sting operation called Ops Revus, and their operators are set to face more than just a simple fine, according to news reports.
The SPAD says that illegal taxi operators will have their vehicle ownership revoked under the Land Public Transport Act. Eighty hired cars – including those operating under the Uber network and Grabcar – have been seized by the commission since October last year, SPAD enforcement general manager Datuk Che Hasni Che Ahmad said.
He stated that out of the 80 cars seized from various illegal taxi companies utilising private vehicles to offer taxi services, 52 have had their ownership revoked – these cars are reportedly set to be auctioned off. They are among the 223 vehicles that have been identified by the commission as illegal taxis. Back in December, it was reported that five private cars were seized in an Uber operation in Johor Bahru.
Under Section 16 of the Land Public Transport Act, individual drivers found guilty of unlicenced ferrying of passengers in privately-owned vehicles can face a fine of up to RM10,000 or a year in jail or both, while car companies can be fined up to RM100,000.

I'm really surprise how Uber can still continue operate and recruit new driver despite so many warning by SPAD.
Anyone know how does Uber really help those driver when their car are seize & caught in red handed??
Perhaps some Uber Partner/driver need to bring it up to Uber before it was too late.
