KUALA LUMPUR – Grab’s services, namely food, mart, express and transport, will continue operating as usual during the re-implementation of the movement control order (MCO) period.

Grab Malaysia managing director Sean Goh said its key focus is to continue safeguarding the income of drivers, delivery partners and merchants, and to protect the community’s health and safety.

“Since the first MCO last year, we have taken steps to fast track the adoption of digital technology to help safeguard the livelihoods of our community and will continue to ramp up our efforts,” he said in a statement today.

Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin had yesterday announced that the government has decided to implement the MCO in the Federal Territories and five states – Penang, Selangor, Melaka, Johor and Sabah – for 14 days from tomorrow until January 26.

Another six states – Pahang, Perak, Negri Sembilan, Kedah, Terengganu and Kelantan – will be placed under the conditional movement control order (CMCO) while Perlis and Sarawak will be placed under the recovery movement control order (RMCO) for the same period.

Sean said the community needs to observe the standard operating procedures (SOPs) set as Grab supports efforts to combat Covid-19.

“As a home-grown company, we are ready to join forces with the public sector, like-minded industry partners, and our community to help steer the nation towards recovery.” – Bernama, January 12, 2021
