UBER DRIVER SHALL NOT BE ALLOWED TO TAKE YOU HERE, BUT I CAN
9.44am, booking Uber from the homestay to the airport. The driver is ZUK (not his real name) and asked him to send our first group of 4 pax. He left first with the pax, while the other 8 pax riding on another van sapu haramj who came later. Our normal transporter with the Zon 1 official taxi van (for the last few days here) was unable to send us today. Later, when I told him about the Uber car who already pickep up the first group, he seemed surprised and upset. He said they (the Uber) cannot operate here in Kuching. Ale uto la pakcik. I told him that the government already approved it. "Not here in Kuching and Sarawak," he showed his disagreement. I said that it's the Malaysia parliament lah. He still looked unhappy. Then later we talked and talked about his van sapu haramj as well. He is driving the van to transport mostly tourists from Semenanjung. He got all the side tepi longkang jobs from the travel agents and his other driver friends. In addition to transferring all the pax to their destinations, he also doing tourist guides as well. Good lah.
UBER XL COMES WITH A BIG DRIVER
3.00pm sharp, after collecting our bags, I booked an UberXL and got HAI (not his real name) as a driver from the Senai airport to my home sweet home. At first I expected the UberXL with big cars like Alphard or Estima, but the one who pick us up was a big chubby driver and his Avanza only. It's an old Avanza okay. Later I found out from the chubby transporter that he is driving part time only and already registered for Grab for more than 1 month but still pending. He suspected bcoz of his old car. He liked to talk and talk and I just layan. Even he used the new road connecting the Plus highway at Persimpangan Bukit Amber bypassing the Senai old town to Pasir Gudang highway. Okay lah.
