Maxim submits appeal after cease-and-desist notice from Apad
KUALA LUMPUR: Maxim Malaysia has filed an appeal and submitted all relevant documents to the Land Public Transport Agency (Apad) following the issuance of cease-and-desist letters for operating without a valid E-Hailing Vehicle Permit (EVP) authorisation. Its Head of Legal and Government Relations, Mushfique Ahmed Chowdury, said the company had just concluded a meeting with Apad and had provided all necessary documents and explanations, including the required amendments in line with regulatory provisions under the Land Public Transport Act 2010. "We have complied with Apad's instructions and submitted all necessary appeals and supporting documents as part of our efforts to ensure that our operations align with the legal and compliance requirements set by the Transport Ministry and Apad for all e-hailing companies," he said at a media briefing today. The meeting marked the third between Maxim and Apad ahead of a final decision by the ministry. Present were Maxim Malaysia director Mohd Hazwan Musley and Apad deputy director-general Masita Mat Isa. Mushfique added that the company has followed all instructions issued by Apad and remains fully committed to regularising its operations. He also said that Maxim would continue to serve the Malaysian market and reaffirmed the company's intention to operate in full compliance with the law. He also assured drivers, passengers, and stakeholders that Maxim remains dedicated to supporting the community it serves. "The company's priority is to safeguard the livelihoods of its legally registered drivers and ensure they can continue operating without disruption. "Our drivers are the core of our company. We are working continuously with the government to ensure full compliance with all regulations imposed on e-hailing operators," he said. Last month, Maxim announced that it was in discussions with the authorities regarding the directive to cease operations from July 24. This followed Apad's issuance of cease-and-desist letters to two e-hailing platforms, inDrive and Maxim, for allegedly operating without proper authorisation in Malaysia. Transport Minister Anthony Loke had said that while appeals may be submitted by the companies, the final decision will rest solely with him in his capacity as the minister. When asked about measures taken by Maxim following a raid by Apad in 2023 over alleged permit violations, Mushfique clarified that the agency had only issued a notice for operational improvements. "It was not related to the cancellation of our licence. It was simply a notice requesting us to respond with details of the improvements we would implement in our operations," he said. Regarding driver compliance, he said Maxim ensures that only those with complete and valid documents are granted access to the system and allowed to accept passenger requests. He also said the issuance of the cease-and-desist letters has affected the company's revenue, although her did not disclose the extent of the losses.
