Protecting Malaysian e-hailing frontliners isn\u2019t exactly rocket science<\/em>, yet PN doesn\u2019t even have the competency to provide basic guidelines <\/em><\/h3>\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n

E-hailing drivers and delivery riders have been our unsung heroes throughout this scathing pandemic. Since the very first Movement Control Order (MCO) and its various subsequent iterations, these \u2019e-hailing frontliners\u2019 have been exposed to the risk of contracting Covid-19 in order to provide essential services to the rakyat. These include transporting thousands of people, food boxes and parcels from various locations every single day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, despite the Federal Government categorising them as essential service providers since MCO 1.0, e-hailing drivers and delivery riders have not been treated as frontliners up until today. Worse, their safety have continuously been neglected and ignored by PN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
