*Attribute to Sean Goh, Country Head of Grab Malaysia
While many of us stay at home, our delivery partners
remain hard at work to ensure that Malaysians get their daily needs, such
as food, fresh produce and daily essentials. And now our communities need their
Ramadan essentials, like baju raya, cookies, dates, and our Ramadan
bazaar favourites for buka puasa. Hence, it is more important now
than ever to take care of their wellbeing and health.
In recent weeks, we started delivering more than 1 million
face masks directly to the homes of our delivery partners nationwide to
help them stay protected as they play their part as an essential
frontliner.
In addition, our delivery network continues to benefit from
the health and wellbeing measures we introduced, namely:
- Grab ‘Partner Protection Fund’ of up
to RM1,000 per driver or delivery-partner: A protection fund to help partners who
are either tested positive or are required by MOH to self-quarantine.
- Grab ‘Partner Relief Fund’ of up to
RM300 per driver or delivery-partner: Discount vouchers to help with our
partners’ daily household expenses. These vouchers can be used on most
Grab services, whether to reload your mobile, or to purchase essential
food and grocery items at up to 50% off for their families during this
period.
- Improved hygiene practices: Our delivery network can continue to
purchase hand sanitisers and Lysol car disinfectants to clean their cars
via GrabBenefits.
In addition, we are honoured to partner with the Ministry
of Communications and Multimedia in their “Kempen Memerangi Covid-19” to
provide our Grab Delivery network and GrabFood customers with an anti-COVID
care and awareness pack respectively. We welcome and fully support the
ministry’s move to ensure that Malaysians are kept informed and have access to
accurate information to protect themselves from Covid-19. We believe that
information is vital especially to navigate through these challenging times, which
is why we have been making updates relating to Covid-19 easily accessible in
the Grab app since the beginning of the MCO.
To our delivery partners, words cannot express our gratitude
for your dedication in serving Malaysians, and in earning an income for your
families. To Grab’s community of users, we are moved by your many kind words
and gestures towards your delivery partners. We hope that more people
continue to support their delivery partners with their kind gestures and even a
grateful tip. A kind word will definitely go a long way.
In the meantime, on behalf of all us from Grab, Selamat
Berpuasa, especially to our Muslim partners and community of users.
