As the most widely used gadgets worldwide, there are many advantages that can be exploited. One of the advantages is the establishment of e-hailing applications. The existing applications are said to be proprietary, stand-alone solutions, and disintegrated while it has to support the end-to end integration to connect drivers, passengers and the vehicles. The security of these applications also has to be upgraded as there are a lot of risks to the users. This study examines the awareness of e-hailing drivers on regulations imposed to the e- industry by Malaysian government. This study focuses on the e-hailing drivers in Malaysia, mainly Grab drivers.
