Khaw Boon Wan

As of 31 December 2017, there were approximately 47,000 cars that are registered to offer private hire car (PHC) services.

We will continue to monitor the situation and review our regulations regularly. Currently, these cars have to be affixed with tamper-evident decals. In addition, PHC drivers are required to hold a Private Hire Car Driver’s Vocational Licence and are subjected to the same demerit point system that applies to taxi drivers.
