KUALA LUMPUR: The RM160 million support package for e-hailing and p-hailing workers announced under the 2027 Budget, particularly vehicle insurance assistance, can ease operating costs and boost net income for drivers and riders facing rising premium rates.
Persatuan Rakan Grab Malaysia (PRGM), representing over 20,000 members nationwide, said in a statement that rising insurance premiums were among the earliest issues raised during engagement sessions with Grab Malaysia since its establishment last month.
"Insurance cost assistance under the 2027 Budget is a most welcome development and has the potential to offer meaningful relief to thousands of e-hailing driver partners nationwide," the statement said.
