Representatives of e-hailing and p-hailing associations will meet the transport minister and human resources minister to discuss the issues faced by them.

Political secretary to the prime minister, Khaizulnizam Mohamad Zuldin, said the meeting with representatives of the two associations with Transport Minister Wee Ka Siong will be held on Monday (Aug 8) in Putrajaya.

“Meanwhile the meeting of e-hailing and p-hailing representatives with the human resources minister will be arranged soon,” he told reporters after a meeting with representatives of Grab Driver Malaysia Association and Persatuan Penghantar P-Hailing Malaysia at a restaurant on Jalan Ampang today.

Khaizulnizam said he met with the two associations today after Prime Minister Ismail Sabri Yaakob expressed concern about issues facing the two groups.

“I have been instructed by the prime minister to meet with p-hailing riders and e-hailing drivers to listen to the problems faced by them.

“The prime minister is very concerned about the problems faced by p-hailing riders and e-hailing drivers,” he said.

He said the government is always listening to the problems faced by each member of Keluarga Malaysia.

Meanwhile, Persatuan Penghantar P-Hailing Malaysia deputy president Abdul Hakim Abdul Rani said the association is unhappy that delivery charges have been reduced by service-providing companies.

Grab Driver Malaysia Association deputy president Mohd Azril Ahmat hoped government representatives would listen to their grouses before making any decision.

Food delivery riders are on a 24-hour strike since midnight today to protest an allegedly unfair payment system, among other issues.

About 100 riders gathered at Grab Malaysia’s headquarters in Petaling Jaya earlier today to submit a memorandum detailing their grievances to the company.
