Prime Minister Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin today announced that e-hailing drivers will receive the one-off payment to ease their financial burden during the Covid-19 pandemic and the Movement Control Order .The 40-year old father of two said his income had been badly affected by the MCO.

Faisal who started driving full-time last year, said many e-hailing drivers had decided not to drive anymore since it was not worth the risk of having an infected passenger. Hishamuddin Abdul Manaf, 26, was also on the same page saying that the RM500 would help ease the burden of e-hailing drivers as the number of customers are declining due to the stay-home order."People are working from home these days and only a handful need our services and this had affected my income," he said.
