KUCHING, Oct 9: The Federal government and Grab have agreed to co-fund a RM160 million package aimed at increasing net income and improving the welfare of e-hailing and p-hailing workers, starting in 2027.
This was announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim when tabling Budget 2027 in the Dewan Rakyat today.
“This package includes an increase in minimum income rates for e-hailing and p-hailing workers, assistance for vehicle maintenance and insurance costs, as well as Social Security Organisation (SOCSO) contributions.
“This means that the median net income for e-hailing drivers is expected to increase by up to RM227 per month, while p-hailing delivery drivers will see an increase of up to RM100 per month,” he said.
