I need your advice.
I am currently jobless .i am 30 years old with 2 year old child and my wife is a housewife.
Planning to either rent a stall in a kopitiam to sell noodles or become a grab driver.
I have saving where I can maintain at least 1year of current standard of living .

Can anyone share with me which is a better choice?

So, don’t think too much. Because by the time you arrive at one 100% correct answer, the time to act has passed and you’ll be overthinking about your regrets.

Don’t think too much, doesn’t mean don’t think at all. Go by the key facts, but don’t expect to have the situation 100% clarified. Here’s some reading for you if you are the curious sort: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_computing

A good example of don’t overthink, and living by probability instead of certainty:

We know it’s fucking insane to drive in middle of KL at 6pm on a normal work day. Yes, it’s not 100% certain that all fares there are shit, but I’m 90% sure. So I just don’t go into there after 4pm. I use set destination and camp in Subang, where I know 80% of the fares I get will be frequent trips from Taipan LRT to USJ9 or nearby neighbourhood.

I also know the probability of getting a ride there is significantly lower on weekends or public holiday, so I either don’t drive on those days, or I go elsewhere.

When I don’t get any rides, I think it’s probably because there are no one ordering a ride there or there are nearer drivers to passengers, instead of 100% mod case or grab screwing with me.

I go online in my free time to find Sunway uni schedule, check for big events, etc.

So, here are the key facts:

1. Drivers, especially part timers in this thread, decided to not continue past July

2. Exam is hard for most people, might not even pass and will just give up after July

3. Drivers will old cars might not be able to get new car

4. Drivers that can get new car, don’t think it’s profitable to buy one just for grab

Is it 100% that there will be less drivers after July? No, but it’s probably 90% true. Will the passengers stop using Grab after July? 70% yes if Gojek comes in in time to start another fare war, or somehow Malaysians learned to walk 2 or 3km without complaining by then.

So instead of spending my days in fear, I just understand the key fact and then stop worrying about it. Instead of wasting time on overthinking, I refine my strategy to get consistent earning. Simple as that.

wtf no more klia job liou stupid loke go sembah taaxi for what

HBP is one of the sign to indicate you are in the high risk of getting  stroke or getting heart failure. Among the factors are poor dietary habits, inadequate sleep , lack of  exercise. Stress from traffic jam and tensions from driving would cause your BP to go sky high.   

Wanna to know what is the cost of hospitalization for two weeks in stroke and heart block without major surgery? At least RM20K in the 3 stars hospitals. 5 stars hospitals would be knocked 3 times. Most of all, the inconvenience of being bedridden and limited mobility to walk and talk unsteady. 

Whatever you can grab with some ringgits doesnt makes sense when you are diagnosed with high blood pressure. Surely, whatever you can earn from high fare with TTB or tippings is not gonna to cover your medical expenses if you are down and out in mobility or mortality. 

Medical check up is rule of SPAD engagement for the safety for drivers and riders. And HBP is a red zone indication that it is not safe to operate public transport. 

This is a healthy reminder from mean olde chef who is not cooking stories. Dun believe, ask the medical expert point of view from responsible doctors either IJN or GH. Or it could be your friendly doctors who would be willingly sign a letter of indemnity that you are fit to drive despite the HBP condition.

Indeed. What rjmsfire said echoes what my friend who i mentioned in earlier post shared to me..

Hes happy with doing grab so far.. for him, driving is relaxing compared to office job where you need to meet your kpis or youll get screwed by boss. Have deadlines to meet, play office politics with colleagues who aspire to climb corporate ladder, backstabbing, etc etc.. While only problem faced driving grab is cb customers (which he said are getting lesser nowadays), but he put on a smiley mask when dealing with problematic people.. he said earlier when things were uncertain because of the unknown ehailing regulations coming in and harassment from taxi drivers keep asking gov to make ehailing drivers life hard that time was quite worrying but now after everything settled down its better..

Then everyday need stress this and that, habis kerja balik rumah pun kena think about kerja the next day.. he now when offline, balik rumah enjoy no need think about anything. Can even go outings with gf..

For him the work hours are about same. He told me office job he work 9 hours (1hr lunch). But to get to office takes almost an hour, same thing when finish work wanna come home another hour in traffic. So total from the moment he wakes up till he reaches home he said he spends about 12 hours outside.. when do grab, he shower on grab app got job come in only terus leave the house. So thats when he starts work. Drive 10-12 hours later, work ends when he reach home.. so he said the amount of time spent outside is about same for office job or driving grab no difference..
On the other hand i get other drivers lament also, driving grab no benefits. No epf, annual leave or medical leave, medical coverage, no public holiday, high wear and tear to car and other stuffs..

Hey guys, any of you start to do grabbike or degoride? It is only in klcc rite? Like bro zinglicious stated, d fare quite good. If can have a lot of trip, worth more than doing normal grab car.

But will the rider go for it? 1 person instead of 4, no aircond, more risky and dangerous, if raining dunno how is it. The only advantage is can passby the jammed road much more faster.

Gojek i heard is only rm1.50 starting fare compare to us rm4 min rite. More than double the fare. Pay extra rm1 can get fully aircond grabcar😓. So i dunno if rider will be happy to pay so much juz to hurry up n pass the jam.

Order mycar with short distance will cost them a lot of time

but would u still take them if there's 2 african with huge body size? let say they were not the member? U know if u reject them, they will get angry. So my question is this, will u risk it? usually there's pattern of behaviour. if u have been doing it often,automatically u will not reject them already.
