Deepest condolences to the family.
I can’t deny that Grab really provide us a good platform for us to earn extra income to cover some living expenses but doesn’t mean that Grab or other e-hailing drivers need to sacrifice their own life. Correct me if I’m wrong. What makes me to stop from driving ? Is safety. My mum called me after she heard the news mentioned one Grab driver is missing & get killed in Sabah recently. In my mind, again ? I really have big doubt on Grab on how they resolve their issues. This is not the first case. How many Grab drivers lives need to be sacrifice ? 3 ? 4 ? 5 ? Grab always give a standard answer when things happen 1) Sorry 2) Hi there! The authorities is aware of this issue and certainly there's investigation going on. Kindly rest on this while the enforcement team takes care of this. This is purely to protect and ensure the privacy of the driver's family and loved ones are not interrupted. Your understanding and cooperation in this matter is certainly appreciated. Thank you. What have you implement or changes to ensure the driver safety ? Don’t talk, please walk the talk !! No drivers no profits. Simple as that. Please take care of your drivers out there.
There are no initiatives or a better system enhancement to protect the drivers. For example, Why Grab allow riders to see driver photo while driver can’t. Is it fair ? Sometimes the riders is different from the actual account user. Is it safe ? We as a driver have to take a big risk to earn extra money while there is not much protection from Grab company. Grab always concern about their cancellation rate , driver rate. Yes, we do understand that service quality is very important when serve customers. But sometimes we do not have any option to accept the job and fetch customers to the place that we are not familiar. U know why ? Because we do not want to get banned by Grab because of high cancellation rate. As the result , we are in danger !!! I hope YB @Anthony Loke Siew Fook will step in and look further into this matter and please enforce new rules if necessary in order e-hailing drivers to have better safety protection. Thanks.
one of the comments from crap facebook page.
like I said , yes a selfie is good but selfie alone isn't going to do jackshit after a victim is dead. its only good for PDRM side for their search.
question is how can we as a rider try to prevent something like the grab murdering case.
as mentioned above by Kong Ah Seow , "Why Grab allow riders to see driver photo while driver can’t. Is it fair ?"
this should've implemented long time ago as one of the safety measurement. if only we can see riders picture or profile , then we might "judge" whether or not if we should pick them up. and if we decide to pick them up , are they really the person matching the picture ? maybe some guy drivers wont mind this because they on lembu mode thinking only about money and nothing on safety. what about other guy drivers who are concern about safety first ? what about lady drivers ?
have you ever as a driver got canceled after few seconds (5/10 seconds ?) from a booking ? even though the roads are not jam and you are able to reach there within 3 minutes or so ? its because riders judge you from your profile picture for their own safety reason which is understandable or simply not comfortable with other races for their own safety reason as well. so why cant drivers to the same as well ?
oh wait we were told by crap not to judge a person base on race , skin color , religion and etc. yep , because grab only want to profit as much as they can from their side. so your RM0.50 cent peasant life aint a big deal if you get murdered. make sense now.
