Unless you were hiding under a rock over the past few weeks, you’d know that the social media sphere is still wrapped up in excitement over Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Ride-sharing service GrabCar is taking advantage of the hype surrounding the latest chapter in the longstanding galactic saga by unleashing 150 Star Wars-themed vehicles across Kuala Lumpur, Manila, Ho Chi Minh and Bangkok until 30 December.
The cars are available in two liveries – one with a Stormtrooper from the film’s nefarious First Order, the other with the adorable BB-8 belonging to star pilot Poe Dameron of the Resistance. Indonesia also gets in on the fun with 500 specially-wrapped taxis and motorcycle taxis under the GrabTaxi and GrabBike banner respectively, while the Philippines will get Star Wars-themed GrabBikes until January 14.
What’s more, Malaysians will be able to ride in the Star Wars-themed GrabCars for free, although customers will have to sign up for the GrabPay cashless payment service to be able to book them. There are prizes to be won too – those who ride in these cars are automatically put in the running to win one of 20 pairs of tickets to catch Star Wars: The Force Awakens given away daily. Also to be given away are movie merchandise in a Snap and Share contest on social media.

this star wars related things is getting abit tiring…
Malaysian taxi drivers are very furious at the moment just like Ali Tinju, so ps don’t use the innocent drivers as scapegoats to advertise GrabCar!
to all taxi drivers, instead of smoldering in self pity over people’s success, more constructive approach can be done. for example, you should improve your service, smile at the customers, talk politely, avoid cheating, use meter, report the colleagues who behave unprofessionally, and to abide by the traffic laws ( not to terrorise the roads like a psychotic maniac.)
Consumers nowadays are very brilliant and technologically savvy and it is their right to choose for the best service for the best value. do not think that you can threaten them into submission with your disgusted attitude which we can read on the newspaper everyday.
