A NEW GRAB DRIVER

 


Today, 20 Nov 2020, Friday.

1.30pm, getting out the LRT Ampang station.
Got a Malay male driver.

When telling him to uturn, he said he knew the way.
He is a local driver.

Not much talking.
He said he started driving since 2 months ago.
So he's driving part time to make ends meet.

MY CAR BROKE DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY

Hi guys.. still around reading my blog? 

Yep. I'm still here. Now working in Dang Wangi, oil and gas sector. 

Today while driving on the Plus highway near Pagoh exit, my old car got problem with it's timing belt. So I left the car at the Malay workshop in Pagoh Jaya. I took a Grabcar to far far away Bukit Gambir hotel. 19min for rm28. Actually the foreman already called a teksi driver since initially I couldn't get a Grabcar driver . But later I found it. 

The driver is a guy from JB. He used to work as a reporter but got vss. The driver is still young of 43 yo.. he's been working for the newspaper company for 17 y.

 I write this post using my mobile in the hotel. To be continued... 

 Monday morning.. it seems hard to find a grab driver from the hotel.. while walking to the teksi station, i got a grab driver.. however i already having breakfast at the pasar tani complex while he's bypassing me.. aiyahh.. and that apek sounds upset and i cancelled..  lajiao lah.. 

  now I'm still trying again to get a driver.. 10.25am.. when i called the workshop the foreman told me he's just about to open up. 
 
so i got this grab driver, a young Malay guy. But he also missed the Pasar Tani where I was waiting at the warung there. And I need to walk over to the next shoplot to get to the car.  He's a teacher doing part time from Melaka. He drove thru the Plus highway instead of the old trunk road. While exiting to Pagoh, we were hold back by the policemen, but he managed to show the document. But the police told him to get a police chop later. By the way, today is start the CMCO in Johor.
 
 

MYCAR RIDES



Hi guys..
still reading my blog?

Just to update briefly that now I am working in Kelana Jaya Selangor.
It's been a week after my contract expired in Jalan Ampang.


Today, I took 2 mycar rides as a rider from my office to Ara Damansara.
Not much talking.

Actually I compare the mycar fares with Grab and found out that the former is much cheaper.

The first rider was a chinese driver on his black Bezza.
The second driver was a malay on his bigger Alza.



On today's newspaper, Safety net needed. E-hailing drivers and otehrs in gig economy seek social protection.
