This is bullshit.  Tak ambik SPM ke?

u r telling me these grab drivers can't read the road signs n instructions that are in BM?

what if there is a sign saying "Bahaya! Putar Balik! Jambatan Patah" and my grab driver drive terus saja?

i guess this directly put grab drivers at the lowest "literacy" among all the commercial vehicle drivers... how they get their driving license, probably also from "i help you, you help me model"..

how they get their driving license? 

if not Pao, yes.

because Grabdrivesr in general are no different from average P drivers.
They like to stop wherever is convenient for them (not the public), they think they're all big men/women with new car with dashcam, they don't know the roads they drive on so they end up driving like auntie when taking turns cause waiting for Waze direction.

It is a market barrier, the main purpose of which is to raise the income of the market participants. If everybody and their uncle can just go join the market whenever they feel like it, the the price will crash until we reach the point where sellers make what is economically called "normal profit". It does not mean what you think it means. In economics, when talking about free markets, when you're making "normal profit", prices are so low, you're actually making no profit at all. It is the theoretical minimum sustainable price. You're just covering costs and barely surviving. If a single additional seller enters the market, the price will dip ever so slightly, that everybody start to go into negative territory.

This sort of barrier exists in every field, in every job, and is probably necessary, if the people in those industries are to many enough to live on. The question is only on how much of a barrier is reasonable. The most obvious is in some sort of licensing requirements.

The secondary purpose is to raise some funds for the government. It's only a tiny amount, but license fees are everywhere.

The third purpose is to protect some groups, who would get angry otherwise, and not vote for the politicians who remove their rice bowl. You now, those driving schools.

More with grab than taxi.
Grab like to just stop on the road even when there is passenger pick up area next to it.
Just go KLCC and have a look.

PS: there is a difference in terms of degrees of market protection. It takes a couple of hours, maybe a day or two, to get the PSV, and a few hundred RM. To get a law degree and pass the bar, it's years of study and a lot more RM. But in the end, it's still market protection.
