Faced with a potential criminal probe on overseas bribery in the US, e-hailing company Uber is conducting an internal investigation into whether any form of quid pro quo occurred in Malaysia.


Bloomberg reported that Uber’s lawyers are currently reviewing a series of financial deals and transactions purportedly tied to the Malaysian government that may have influenced lawmakers here, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

The lawyers are looking at a corporate donation of tens of thousands of dollars, announced in Aug 2016, to the Malaysian Global Initiative and Creativity Centre, which is a government-backed entrepreneur hub.

Around the same time, Retirement Fund Incorporated (KWAP) supposedly invested US$30 million in Uber, said people familiar with the deal, as reported by Bloomberg.

for cash transactions can raise issue with ublur if the cash collected is more than the fares shown in driver app. Possible can get reimbursement from ublur.

But for credit card, driver unlikely to know unless rider willing to shown their pricing in their rider app. If upfront fare is low compare to distance & travel time, ublur will normally reply their pricing can't be wrong etc...

instead of aggressively recruiting new drivers, ublur should emphasize more on existing driver retention. Referral fees are additional burden to them.
