Earlier this month, Grab announced a restructuring of its delivery fee and bonus framework in Malaysia, which didn’t go down well with platform delivery riders. While the company said the changes would ensure bookings that require more time and effort will be more fairly compensated, riders expressed disagreement with the reduction in the base fare, saying it would affect their livelihood.
Following a protest staged by delivery riders days after the announcement was made, the Malaysian p-hailing riders’ association has now submitted a memorandum to deputy prime minister Datuk Seri Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, in which they urged Grab Malaysia to reconsider restoring wage rates for goods and food delivery, the Malay Mail reports.
The association’s VP, Abdul Hakim Abdul Rani, expressed concern over the recent reduction in basic rates, saying it would especially have an impact on food delivery service riders.
“This has led to dissatisfaction among Grab Food Malaysia delivery partners as the company has shifted from a fixed-rate scheme to an incentive and weekly bonus system. Previously, in the Klang Valley, the basic service fee for food pickup and delivery was RM5, but now it has been reduced to RM4,” he said.
He said that p-hailing riders no longer trust the incentives and bonuses as the company sees them as temporary perks that might be cut, putting riders in a difficult situation. He added that there was a strong hope among Grab Food delivery partners that the decision to reduce the basic rates would be reversed.
Meanwhile, UMNO supreme council member Datuk Seri Mohd Sharkar Shamsudin said that the matter will be discussed in the Umno supreme council meeting, where the deputy minister would look into it.

“… which didn’t go down well with platform delivery riders.”
READ: Didn’t go well with LAZY riders only.
YOU HAVE CHOICE. YOU HAVE CHOICE.
The platform existed to supplement income. It’s your own choice that you stop schooling to do this. No one owe you a living.
Why UMNO and not PH, PMX, PKR? Bcoz UMNO BN still cares while they know PH are bankrolled by these big businesses (Grab is one of them) so clearly a PH Govt will fight for the rich & big business interests. If small SMEs have to comply with minimum wage for their workers so as Grab must be made to comply but this Govt clearly will not fight for the little guys.
Why would anyone fight for little LAZY guys?
Because the rich are oppressing the poor under the guise of being “LAZY”? Guess who is doing all that hardwork for the rich?
Sounds more like the LAZY under the guise of being oppressed by the rich. Why do poor PPR housing always full of rubbish everywhere? Because the people are too lazy to dispose the rubbish properly. You don’t hear people living in expensive condo throwing rubbish from balcony like poor PPR housing do.
Bising2, pergilah kerja ngan Misi Rakyat. Buat apa nak kerja ngan Grab? Bukan ke korang tuduh Grab support Israel.
If all of them stop working who will do those Misi Rakyat, you??? Did you forget they were also frontliners during Covid lockdown? They should be given fair job opportunities as in the West.
You are so incoherent. Do you even know what Misi Rakyat is?
from ride-sharing app and save the environment to cut-throat monopoly greedy bosses fml
Maybe other motorists should stage protests against these food delivery riders. They are a menace on the road, ignoring all traffic rules and putting everyone’s lives at risk when they beat the red lights, ride in the opposite lane, etc.
You prefer they go back to doing snatch thefts and sometime killing people in the process?
So you’re saying ex-snatch thieves and ex-killers are food delivery riders? don’t be daft.
Like I also want to send letter to UMNO la tell my boss to give me good bonus and increment.
Umno will give you a kite to fly
why never submit to wan fayhsal?
this is how corporations become greedy at the behest of the shareholders.
What these riders should do is a massive un-installation of the grab app!…and pick some other e-platforms
Grab will shit bricks!!
don’t agree with Grab’s terms then just quit. you can work with shopee food or food panda. else just work in McD, Starbucks or toll booth collector. there are so many jobs outside.
They are too lazy to find another job brathaarr. This might be out of topic but better play Elden Ring laa… My point is (git gud), work more time and most importantly, on peak hours, during when the temperature is the highest at noon, and when the road is full of vehicles at dusk. Thats where the bonuses that they can get. Also, for those who dont like cash orders, please cancel them, so i can get them instead ;*
Man i love those type of guys
You are so incoherent. Do you even know what Misi Rakyat is?
It seem you’re too tipsy to know what you even just said. Relax and get sobered up before returning.
To all those commenting people are lazy, go find other job etc have obviously never experienced what its like to do deliveries. Grab, Lalamove etc are all very cut-throat and yes it’s like a last resort type of job but the compensation is really low, it’s almost like modern day slavery having experienced it myself. Whether they should have gone to school or not or seeked better jobs, employers should be fair.
Vote PAS, ask UMNO for help.
This is what happens when you create a gov handout culture over multiple decades. You reap what you sew.
