He is from rich family, but he never settle down and press ahead with new business when he could choose to chill and stay with family biz. Compared to those Tan and Yeoh families kids, none step out of comfort zone and did and succeed as much as he does.

Yes, Grab treats vendors and riders unfairly some may say. But end of the day, they exist becuz of demand. We are still paying for it and using Grab while we have other options like FoodPanda, ShopeeFood, Fat boy's rubbish Airasia food etc.

Just my 2 cents.

Looking at the comments, many call him scammer with bad business ethics.

Second top most comment is that he is born with silver spoon, nothing special.

What do you guys think?

I think he built something very unique and definitely solved a big transportation problem.
However he lacks the prowess and ability to express the dreams to his investor, like Elon Musk.
His endeavour into the stock exchange was made seemingly out of desperation without much thought into the public perception.

My 2 cents,
The rich have the privilege to travel and explore beyond Msia, and brought in wealth of experience and knowledge. That being said, i must applaud them for willing to try something new, something unproven and definitely something risky as it involves extravagant CAPEX with unknown ROE.

It takes someone with wisdom, experience and knowledge to put a vision into reality.

The poor don't have this, and the middle income can only dream and risk it at certain level until they meet inevitable problem such as cashflow, connections, and reactive laws and regulation that restricts creativity.





Long story short, he make use of what he have and made it to the top. Same cannot be said for other rich kids whom play it safe.

Some people value their time more than money. If you are worth millions, will you spend 2 hours just to queue up at KFC to save 10 ringgek?

I think he is an amazing guy who provided millions of job opportunities to people in ASEAN.

Yes his background helps but that's not the point. Grab is highly successful and he is a great businessman.

Alot of people talking about toxic culture and stuff, but people need to understand that it's a middle management problem, because most things break in the middle.

And by saying that he was born a silver spoon, that's the whole point isn't it? He couldn't have just relax and take over the tan Chong empire but he decided to built something from the ground up. You need to give him some respect.

And why r people so salty? The grab app is one of the useful and most frequently used app. Better than the likes of TikTok, Instagram, etc.

This and it came from CoolStoryWriter. Lol

He basically kick started the gig economy with Grab car, then when lockdown came, he pivot to Grabfood, Grabmart etc to provide a living to those who caught by the pandemic and also connecting businesses with more business. You can call him an opportunist but so many job opportunities were created not only in Malaysia but all around SEA. I am not a fan of Grab because I think one shouldn't be lazy to cook or to go out and buy but it does has its one target market.

Credit has to be given to him for what he has done, and born rich has shouldn't be the equation here. So many other 36542654125347 ppl are born rich as well but do you see them doing something or just waiting to take over the father's business and become CEO.

Still wonder what did he scam on. laugh.gif

Did he point a gun at you to buy?

Then all the glove companies are scammers as well? Nio, XPeng, Wework, Sapura Kencana, Senheng are scammers too? Basically if your investment doesn't go your way they are scammers?
