Receive this whatsapp..This is in Singapore...but I think applicable to us malasian as well.. what you guys think?


Read TODAY news just published...... "More young drivers joining Grab, Uber full time.

This is a very serious problem brewing. LKY once said that if we are not careful voting in a wrong government, our mothers, wives, sisters and girlfriends will become maids and domestic workers in foreign land.

Today increasingly, we are seeing our young men and women, under 30, becoming chauffeurs for the foreign "angmohs", PRCs, the Filipinos etc in our very own country. What's the difference!

Assoc Professor Donald Low from the LKY IPS is exactly correct.

Driving Grab and Uber full time is hardly a skill-development job, let alone SkillFuture ready for the new frontiers.

The downsides are monumental and spiralling.

These youngsters can never build up their nest egg....no CPF, no skill development, no career development, meaningless job and over time brain degeneration and become permanently unemployable.

How to start a family to address our low TFR? The problem compounds itself when we see foreigners taking away well meaning and well paying jobs.

It is a massive wastage of human capital after spending so much on advanced education in an extremely robust education system. Under-employment at it's worst.

what do you think is the root cause of under employment?? businesses will always try to minimize their cost, which most of the time is human labor. every industry is or will experience this, as nowadays AI getting so good they can replace more and more of what humans do. think back to just ten years ago how many managers and workers doing stuff in an office that are not needed anymore?

the govt of the world  knows this but don't have a solution (or dare not be honest)... hence you always hear the same old crap about upgrading and retraining...retrain my backside la.

Well said from prof.... at least enjoy grab while we can for now...

Lyft is far from a typical Silicon Valley company. Unlike Uber, it does not lust for world domination and it operates only in America. Nor does it take itself especially seriously. For years it identified its drivers by pink, fuzzy moustaches fastened to the front of cars, and encouraged riders to fist-bump their drivers and sit in the front seat (though it has now relaxed this etiquette to attract more customers).

Wow, LYFT easy to identified with the PINK misai tongue.gif

I wonder how grab will react...but at the moment lyft have collaboration with grab whereby lyft app user can request grab using the app...

Yesterday I requested Uber to go to Putrajaya Proton Service Center from Presint 14F. A driver accepted my request and I texted him the exact house number and he told me he was on the way. It was more than five minutes but I could see the driver didn't move one bit from Presint 14H so I waited until nearly 10 minutes than I cancelled the trip. The driver also asked me for my destination before hand and this really triggered me because I've never asked my riders' destination after accepting their requests. Maybe that is one of the reasons why my rating is 4.83 when I used to drive for Uber and if you used to drive for Uber, you know how hard it is to maintain 4.8 and above, unlike Grab.

This morning I checked my Uber rider app and I was charged with RM5 cancellation fee. What the hell Uber? I cancelled the request because the driver took so long to reach me and he didn't move from his spot. Furthermore the cancellation address was P14H, which was his location while I was waiting at P14F. These two are separated by a 1.3km road which can be covered in 3 minutes if you drive like an uncle. This driver also has a rating of 4.49, which is borderline low. My rating as an Uber rider is 5, because as a former Uber driver, I know which passengers I appreciate most so I try my best to emulate them.

I've made a report so I'll just wait and see. Hopefully Uber will reverse the fee to the driver instead of to me.

If you see driver rating very low, quickly cancel it.. my brother also kena the same tactic by uber driver, rating 4.29, and waited more than 20 minutes, the driver did not move... when u send in app to uber, they will reimburse you rm5...accept and wait if the driver rating 4.7 and above...

it is a good program for Uber driver, at least there is a guarantee amount of RM1,850 earnings after completed 150 trips per week.

crapcar incentive need to follow schedule, Uber no need, plus the cancellation fee able to get rid a lot of problematic rider. Some willing to earn less and not pressure by crap "quality" rider.
*
Even I drive as grab abang sado, make average 150 trips per week, incentives plus fare never reach that figure...

Yup. 😁😁😁Share this since Oct...
It was my last assignment for the night. I saw it as S-size fare, but shout-out dumbfounded. Heading top hill with GS rate...only knew it when the customer was on-board. I’ve calculated that it we’ll end past midnight. Anyway it’ll be a smoother ride since bats are roosting. We gauge well on conversations, so that assisted to wake this hunting soul.
Once up there...felt like fairytale heaven-like environment. The fog & mist was awesome. It was drizzling & man..liquid nitrogen breezing through everywhere on everything. Somehow I was happy to be there. πŸ€ͺπŸ€ͺπŸ€ͺ
By the way, the customer paid more than 100 as fare. The world would be a cooler & sporting place with more people like that.

That’s why I said u guys don’t understand rider behaviour. I’m not here to listen how pathetic driver u r but rather I think you may do better if u shift paradigm your mentality n stop stubborn. You hated nasty riders outside but as a mirror to you, they neither like u at all. To win this game, you ought to do it differently. Complaint n hatred will only cause your AR n dr drop. At the end, got suspended. After all, should u not blame yourself for not doing it differently?

I took a few ride last week and this driver gave a middle finger and scold vulgar words to another car driver, and another ride I took where the driver ask me to walk in front abit as he receive the ping after the junction where I was standing, and a driver complain to me about the previous sucker rider who cancel after he reach the destination, still I give all of them 5* ...why? Because they brought me safely to my destination....i don't need any extra service/vip treatment.., they don't owe me anything, and I don't owe them anything....

Almost same experience; got this "Alpha" talk in phone almost the whole 5KM, calling Grab officers about his banned/suspended drivers, relaying side deals to his gang. Really poor maintained car (interior). Ended out missed the turn and dropped me at corner. Suspected kereta sapu driver.  Out of respect, I just gave him a smile and thank him for the ride.  dry.gif

So u gave him 4* or less? Haha...

interesting... I think they R really cracking down on cancellations now...on both driver and Rider side.

I seldom get pax now also as I heard they warning those riders who cancel 5 times in a row.

To be safe , I think dax cancellation must be less than 5%...

Only 68 jobs last week, part-timer.

Sorry, the previous image was evening, this is when I ended the day.
WTF, same here. Last time I insist ask them wait, will be there, my rating drop 0.5% in one day.

Well mine, Dax as my screenshot.
PAX actually 10.29%, can't do anything as most are like immediate cancellation once I accepted the jobs. 2 of the immediate cancellation actually just because I park my car right in front the pick up point after my dim sum.
*
I got 2 pax cancellation today, not even 10 seconds after job accepted they cancel..sigh...but good thing my dax still 0%...

Haha.... Friday I rather gantung kunci... although higher incentives, very stress to drive on Friday.. but the reality is, as part timer HG, very stress everyday...sad.gif

Driving in Penang island seems to me like driving in Singapore, PLUS the horrible traffic jam and MINUS the excellent public transport.

btw... Penang no fixed price for airport right?

No fix fare to and from airport...and it doesn't make any sense to queue in airport...those queuing in airport are targeting high fare to SP or Kulim...
