News & Reviews:   Maxim

Recently, Maxim Malaysia stated that the e-hailing sector remains open to individuals of all ages, with no upper age limit, provided applicants meet the necessary licensing and safety requirements. So, what should you know about it?

It has been a few rocky months for Maxim, but it looks like the dust has settled. Maxim E-hailing Malaysia has officially received the final approval letter from the Land Public Transport Agency (APAD), confirming that the platform is now fully compliant with all regulatory requirements to continue nationwide e-hailing operations.

Back in May 2025, there was news about Maxim needing to cease its operations in Malaysia, but that was not really the case. Today, the company has officially confirmed the continuation of its operations in Malaysia following a green light from the Land Public Transport Agency (APAD).

Previously, we reported that e-hailing company InDrive was issued a termination notice by the Land Public Transport Agency (APAD) due to failure to comply with regulations. Now, Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook has given further announcement on the matter, revealing that InDrive, alongside another Russian e-hailing company, Maxim, must cease operations in Malaysia on 24 July 2025.
