My Mobility Vision said while the government had made continuous efforts to ensure the safety and social security of gig workers, especially p-hailing riders, challenges remained.

It claimed that some 70% of p-hailing riders violated traffic laws during deliveries, highlighting the need for new, more practical and effective approaches.

“(We) call on the government to support our efforts to host a roundtable discussion to hear from all stakeholders – including riders, platforms, and policymakers – so we can develop regulations that benefit everyone,” it said in a statement.

“All p-hailing platforms should share their concerns and recommendations with us.”

My Mobility Vision also said that through collaboration and dialogue, it aims to create a p-hailing ecosystem that is safer, innovative, and sustainable.

Amendments to the Land Public Transport Act 2010, Road Transport Act 1987, and Commercial Vehicles Licensing Board Act 1987 were passed by Parliament in June 2023 to regulate p-hailing services.

Last August, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said p-hailing companies had committed to being more transparent and are further studying the views of riders in the calculation of payment rates.

He said the commitment was made in a meeting with 24 service operators and five riders present to state their views and obtain first-hand responses from the p-hailing companies, reported Bernama.
