It is nice to have someone with first hand experience to tell us this.
Excerpt from his article in The Heat:
"A taxi operator recently declared that drivers of e-hailing services will be barred from picking up passengers at several major hotels and shopping malls in Kuala Lumpur from November.

Excerpt from his article in The Heat:
"A taxi operator recently declared that drivers of e-hailing services will be barred from picking up passengers at several major hotels and shopping malls in Kuala Lumpur from November.
He planned to bring taxi services at these properties under his control, just as he had done so at Kuala Lumpur City Centre where Suria KLCC is located.
This was after he had secured a sub-contract from another taxi company that has an agreement with a shopping mall for chauffeur-driven limousine services.
If given a free hand, taxi drivers, companies, cooperatives or associations are quick stake territorial claims to monopolise services.
Such exclusivity could easily degenerate to the extent that guests and shoppers using other taxis or e-hailing services may be dropped off on the main road instead of the covered entrance.
Fearing repercussions, the hotel and mall operators named were quick to deny having any agreement or arrangement with this taxi operator, who continues to make waves in the local scene.
There is bound to be confusion when issues are not seen in the right context, more so when matters are further complicated by parties with vested interests."
