KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 10 — Grab aims to increase the earnings of e-hailing drivers and p-hailing delivery partners from 2027 without affecting passenger fares under a proposed minimum earnings framework.

In a statement yesterday, Grab said an agreement in principle had been reached on a proposed minimum baseline rate for e-hailing and p-hailing workers.

“The Gig Consultative Council will continue its deliberations to determine the final rates,” it said.

Grab’s statement follows Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s announcement during the tabling of Budget 2027 in the Dewan Rakyat yesterday that the government and Grab would jointly fund a RM160 million package to boost the earnings and welfare of gig workers.
