    Maxim Malaysia Receives Full APAD Approval, Strengthening Nationwide E-Hailing Operations

    Maxim Malaysia has reaffirmed its operational stability nationwide after officially receiving a final approval letter from the Land Public Transport Agency (APAD) to continue its e-hailing services across all states. The approval marks the completion of a three-month monitoring period, during which Maxim successfully demonstrated full compliance with regulatory requirements set by the authorities. This milestone signals the platform’s readiness to operate legally and confidently within Malaysia’s e-hailing ecosystem.

    During a press conference in Kuala Lumpur, Mushfique Ahmed, Legal Compliance & Government Relations representative for Maxim Malaysia, highlighted the company’s focus throughout the monitoring period. Key efforts included strengthening the legalization process, providing financial and informational support for drivers, enhancing safety features, building an inclusive community, and expanding the company’s social responsibility initiatives. These actions were undertaken to ensure that Maxim not only meets regulations but continues improving its operations for both passengers and driver-partners.

    Throughout the compliance period, Maxim submitted all required reports and implemented several structural improvements that contributed to achieving full driver licensing compliance. The company conducted an internal audit of PSV and eVP licences, updated its driver onboarding procedures, and introduced more rigorous inspection protocols. Additional support included financial assistance of up to RM400 for new drivers and a 0% commission incentive for newly approved driver-partners. Maxim also strengthened its collaboration with driving schools, offering drivers a fast-track PSV licensing process with full cost coverage.

    Maxim also introduced new safety measures designed to elevate the passenger experience. These include women-only ride options in selected East Coast cities, upgraded SOS button functions for faster emergency response, and the distribution of child seats to top-performing drivers in Terengganu. The company expanded its support for Persons with Disabilities (OKU) by implementing 0% commission for OKU drivers and enhancing service features tailored to OKU customers. These initiatives reflect Maxim’s commitment to safety, accessibility, and inclusivity.

    Beyond regulatory compliance, Maxim continued fostering community bonds through various social initiatives. This includes national celebrations such as Independence Day and Malaysia Day campaigns, transportation assistance for the blind community, and active participation in blood donation drives. Its memorandum of understanding with the Malaysian Association for the Blind further strengthens the company’s commitment to community welfare and equitable mobility.

    Hazwan expressed deep appreciation during the press event, extending gratitude to APAD, drivers, passengers, and media partners for their continuous trust and support. He stated that the final approval marks a new phase of growth for Maxim Malaysia, paving the way for improved services, wider outreach, and a more secure experience for both passengers and drivers. He emphasised that Maxim’s mission goes beyond traditional e-hailing, serving as an essential platform that empowers individuals who rely on e-hailing as their primary source of income.

    Hazwan also highlighted that Maxim plays a critical role in Malaysia’s mobility landscape by offering competitive alternatives, reducing market monopolies, and ensuring transportation access in major cities, suburban areas, and rural regions. He added that these achievements reflect Maxim’s dedication not only to meeting regulatory standards but also to empowering communities, supporting driver welfare, and enhancing passenger confidence.

    With the final approval secured, Maxim Malaysia is now positioned to expand its technological capabilities, broaden its service offerings, and continue collaborating closely with authorities and local communities. The company remains committed to supporting a modern, inclusive, and accessible transportation ecosystem for all Malaysians.

Melalui kerjasama ini, Maxim menyediakan perkhidmatan e-hailing percuma kepada SBM dan ahlinya bagi memudahkan urusan harian, temu janji perubatan, serta aktiviti kemasyarakatan.

  • Maxim Tanggung Penuh Yuran Lesen PSV: Peluang E-Hailing Tanpa Beban Kos

    Maxim Tanggung Penuh Yuran Lesen PSV: Peluang E-Hailing Tanpa Beban Kos

    Maxim Malaysia, salah satu penyedia perkhidmatan e-hailing terkemuka di negara ini, telah melancarkan inisiatif terbaharu mereka yang dinamakan “PSV Tanpa Kos”. Program ini bertujuan untuk memberikan akses mudah kepada aplikasi Maxim, menawarkan bantuan kewangan, serta memberdayakan rakan-pemandu baharu yang ingin memulakan kerjaya dalam industri e-hailing.

    Melalui inisiatif ini, Maxim akan menanggung sepenuhnya kos bagi mendapatkan Lesen Kenderaan Perkhidmatan Awam (PSV) untuk semua pemandu baharu. Program ini diwujudkan bagi menghapuskan halangan kewangan yang sering menjadi cabaran utama kepada individu yang bercita-cita menjadi pemandu e-hailing, sekali gus membantu mereka memulakan perjalanan dalam industri ini dengan lebih mudah dan yakin.

    Di Malaysia, semua pemandu e-hailing diwajibkan melengkapkan kursus PSV serta menjalani pemeriksaan perubatan di institut memandu bertauliah. Proses ini penting bagi memastikan pemandu dilatih dengan betul dan berada dalam keadaan kesihatan yang sesuai demi keselamatan penumpang. Namun, kos keseluruhan proses ini lazimnya berjumlah sekitar RM250 dan mengambil masa antara satu hingga dua minggu untuk diselesaikan.

    Bagi meringankan beban tersebut, Maxim Malaysia akan membayar balik sepenuhnya yuran PSV dan kos pemeriksaan perubatan kepada pemandu baharu setelah mereka menyerahkan resit rasmi kepada wakil Maxim. Bayaran balik ini akan dikreditkan terus ke dalam akaun Taxsee Driver dalam bentuk bonus. Pemandu baharu juga dapat menikmati kelebihan tambahan apabila mereka boleh mula menerima tempahan di platform Maxim tanpa dikenakan caj komisen. Komisen hanya akan ditolak secara automatik daripada baki bonus tersebut, membolehkan mereka menyimpan 100% daripada pendapatan awal mereka sehingga baki digunakan sepenuhnya.

    Menurut Pengarah Maxim Malaysia, Mohd Hazwan Musley, usaha ini mencerminkan komitmen syarikat terhadap kebajikan dan pembangunan rakan-pemandu. Beliau menjelaskan bahawa lesen PSV adalah piawaian penting yang memastikan keselamatan serta profesionalisme dalam industri e-hailing, melindungi bukan sahaja penumpang tetapi juga pemandu. Dengan menghapuskan halangan kewangan ini, Maxim berhasrat untuk memudahkan proses pendaftaran, sekaligus melabur dalam pertumbuhan dan kejayaan pemandu sejak hari pertama mereka menyertai platform.

    Selain pembiayaan penuh, Maxim turut menyediakan sokongan menyeluruh kepada pemandu baharu melalui panduan langkah demi langkah sepanjang proses pendaftaran, sesi pendidikan mengenai keselamatan jalan raya serta penjagaan penumpang, dan kerjasama dengan sekolah memandu bertauliah bagi memastikan akses latihan yang mudah dan berkualiti.

    Melalui inisiatif ini, Maxim terus memperkukuh peranannya dalam mewujudkan peluang pendapatan yang mampan dan menarik untuk rakyat Malaysia. Dengan mengurangkan tekanan kewangan pada peringkat awal, syarikat berharap dapat menarik lebih ramai individu untuk meneroka bidang e-hailing sebagai kerjaya yang stabil dan memberi ganjaran, sekali gus mengembangkan rangkaian pemandu bertauliah di seluruh negara bagi memberikan perkhidmatan terbaik kepada komuniti.

    Maxim Laksanakan Program Pengesahan Pemandu Khas untuk Kukuhkan Aspek Keselamatan Jalan Raya

    Maxim, antara penyedia perkhidmatan e-hailing yang pesat berkembang di Malaysia, baru-baru ini memperkenalkan program pengesahan pemandu khas dengan matlamat meningkatkan tahap keselamatan jalan raya serta memastikan semua pemandu mematuhi peraturan sedia ada. Usaha ini juga memperlihatkan komitmen syarikat terhadap kepatuhan regulatori dan kualiti perkhidmatan kepada pelanggan.

    Melalui program tersebut, proses pendaftaran pemandu kini diperkemas agar lebih mudah, telus dan selamat untuk semua pihak. Pengarah Maxim E-hailing Malaysia, Mohd Hazwan, menegaskan bahawa inisiatif ini bukan sekadar melunaskan tuntutan undang-undang, malah bertujuan mewujudkan komuniti pemandu yang lebih bertanggungjawab, yakin dan berpengetahuan.

    Setiap pemandu baharu diwajibkan menyerahkan dokumen penting termasuk lesen PSV, sijil insurans, laporan pemeriksaan PUSPAKOM, MyKad, serta gambar kenderaan dan potret diri. Semua dokumen akan disemak secara manual oleh pasukan pematuhan Maxim bagi memastikan ketulenan dan kesahihan sebelum akaun pemandu diaktifkan.

    Bagi memudahkan proses ini, Maxim turut menyediakan panduan pendaftaran digital, video pendidikan mengenai cara mendapatkan lesen PSV dan permit EVP, serta pemberitahuan masa nyata jika dokumen tidak lengkap atau tamat tempoh. Syarikat itu juga bekerjasama dengan lebih 25 sekolah memandu di seluruh negara bagi membantu pemandu melengkapkan keperluan lesen. Malah, pemandu layak menerima bayaran balik kos lesen dalam bentuk bonus sebagai galakan tambahan.

    Seorang pemandu dari Sungai Petani, Ahmad Azmee, menyifatkan sistem pendaftaran baharu ini lebih cepat dan jelas berbanding sebelum ini. Beliau turut menghargai panduan langkah demi langkah serta pemberitahuan automatik yang memudahkan urusan, selain menganggap insentif pulangan semula kos lesen sebagai bukti keprihatinan Maxim terhadap kebajikan pemandu.

    Bagi memperkukuh lagi kesedaran, Maxim melaksanakan kempen pendidikan berterusan melalui pemberitahuan aplikasi, mesej SMS, talian sokongan dan juga acara secara langsung. Usaha ini diharapkan dapat memberi pemahaman menyeluruh kepada pemandu mengenai kepatuhan undang-undang dan standard profesional.

    Maxim mula beroperasi di Malaysia pada tahun 2019 dengan perkhidmatan pertamanya di Kuantan sebelum berkembang ke seluruh negara. Sejak itu, syarikat ini terus memperkenalkan teknologi baharu dalam perkhidmatan pengangkutan dan penghantaran yang lebih moden, selamat dan mudah diakses. Aplikasinya, Maxim untuk penumpang dan Taxsee Driver untuk pemandu, kini tersedia di pelbagai platform aplikasi mudah alih utama.

  • From Hardship to Hope: How Maxim E-Hailing Helps Drivers Support Their Families

    From Hardship to Hope: How Maxim E-Hailing Helps Drivers Support Their Families

    In the midst of ongoing economic uncertainty affecting thousands across the nation, Maxim E Hailing Malaysia has become more than just a ride service. For many Malaysians facing genuine hardship, it serves as a vital source of income, stability, and dignity. Recently, Maxim specialists spoke to three remarkable partner drivers who shared how the platform helped them overcome personal challenges and keep moving forward.

    For countless drivers, Maxim is more than an app, it is a lifeline. From those who lost employment during the COVID 19 pandemic to retirees and persons with disabilities, the platform has opened doors to earning opportunities through a flexible and accessible system, available to anyone with a vehicle and the willingness to work.

    One such driver, Mr. Gimme, saw his life take a difficult turn after losing his job during the pandemic. He endured two years without steady income while also recovering from gallbladder surgery, with doctors advising against physically demanding work. Struggling to support his family, he eventually learned about Maxim through friends and social media. With no other prospects in sight, he decided to join, and that choice became the turning point in his journey. Today, he works full time on the platform, earning enough to care for his family while managing his health at his own pace. For him, Maxim has provided more than financial stability, it has restored hope, independence, and the ability to live with pride.

    Another inspiring story comes from Mr. Bong, who was born deaf and faced repeated rejection while trying to secure a steady job. In 2022, he came across one of Maxim’s campaigns and decided to sign up. The process required no interviews or complicated communication, giving him an immediate and accessible way to earn. Beyond income, Maxim has given him freedom over his schedule, the confidence to live independently, and the pride of knowing he can provide for himself despite the obstacles.

    There is also the story of Mr. Kelana, a retired firefighter whose pension was not enough to cover daily expenses. At his age, a traditional full time job was no longer practical, but he still needed to generate extra income. Discovering Maxim offered the perfect solution. The platform allowed him to work without physical strain, on his own terms, while staying active and independent. For him, it has become more than just a side income, it is the means to live his retirement with comfort and purpose.

    A recent survey by Maxim revealed that about 20 percent of its drivers depend on the platform as their primary income source, earning more than 80 percent of their total wages through it. The freedom to choose working hours and locations has enabled many to balance personal needs, health, and family responsibilities without sacrificing financial stability.

    When APAD resolved issues surrounding Maxim’s license, partner drivers across Malaysia breathed a sigh of relief. For many, it meant their livelihood was secure. They could continue earning to keep their homes running, fund their children’s education, and ensure there was food on the table, proving once again that for these drivers, Maxim is far more than just a way to get from point A to point B.

    Maxim Malaysia Files Appeal with APAD, Reaffirms Commitment to Legal Compliance and Public Service

    Maxim Malaysia has officially filed an appeal with the Land Public Transport Agency (APAD), signaling its readiness to fully cooperate with regulatory authorities and reinforce its dedication to safe and compliant e-hailing services in Malaysia.

    At a recent media briefing, Maxim confirmed that all required documents have been submitted to APAD as part of the appeal process. The agency acknowledged the company’s efforts and improvements to align with national transport regulations.

    “I would like to confirm that Maxim has shown full commitment to resolving this matter by adhering to our instructions and submitting all relevant documents,” said Puan Masita Binti Mat Isa, Deputy Director General of APAD. “We are reviewing the case, and we hope to see all e-hailing platforms, including Maxim, continue contributing to the growth of a balanced and fair digital economy. A competitive market is crucial for the advancement of the industry.”

    Maxim emphasized that only legally certified drivers those with valid Public Service Vehicle (PSV) and E-Hailing Vehicle Permit (EVP) licenses are allowed to operate under its platform. To support driver compliance, Maxim collaborates with over 25 licensed driving schools across the country, easing the process of legalisation and offering support and incentives to new driver-partners.

    “We actively assist candidates in obtaining the necessary permits and offer a system of compensation bonuses to encourage more people to become legal drivers,” said Chowdhury Mushfique Ahmed, Head of Legal and Government Relations at Maxim Malaysia. “We are ready to expand this effort with additional partnerships to help more Malaysians earn a legal income.”

    The Maxim app also includes safety features such as an in-app chat monitored by the company, and a trip tracking function that allows passengers to share their live journey details with friends and family.

    As a key player in Malaysia’s e-hailing landscape, Maxim continues to focus on enhancing urban mobility by providing accessible, safe, and affordable transport solutions. The company has created thousands of income opportunities, particularly in underserved regions, while helping to meet the daily transportation needs of users from all walks of life.

    “Over half of our drivers rely on Maxim as a primary or supplementary source of income. We are proud to contribute to household earnings and to offer Malaysians an affordable commuting option,” said Musley Mohd Hazwan, Director of Maxim Malaysia.

    Over the past six years, Maxim has paid taxes and contributed to building a competitive e-hailing ecosystem in Malaysia. The company has made significant investments in infrastructure, brand development, technological innovation, corporate social responsibility (CSR) projects, and local mobility solutions.

    Maxim is also deeply committed to supporting vulnerable communities. The company offers special rates and awareness promotions for people with disabilities (OKU), including free rides for visually impaired passengers and members of the Paralympic community. Its website is optimized for blind users, ensuring inclusive access to information and services.

    As Maxim continues to invest in IT solutions and platform enhancements, the company remains steadfast in its mission to deliver reliable, innovative, and inclusive transport services that benefit all Malaysians.
