Indonesian tech giant Gojek has today clarified that it has no plans to offer its e-hailing services in Malaysia as of yet. This is amidst the rumours that Gojek is potentially expanding to our country after a vehicle with the company’s branding was spotted in Kuala Lumpur.
Previously, we reported on the vehicle, a black Honda City was spotted driving around the city of Kuala Lumpur with a police traffic escort. This sparked rumours that the ‘Unicorn’ tech company from Indonesia would be entering the Malaysian, further establishing itself in Southeast Asia.
However, as reported by Tech in Asia, a Gojek representative has clarified that the aforementioned vehicle was part of an upcoming campaign by the company later this year. While Gojek didn’t reveal what campaign it was exactly, the vehicle was being filmed around Kuala Lumpur as part of its marketing materials.
Gojek and Grab have been the de facto e-hailing service providers in Southeast Asia, with both companies having presence in most countries in the region. While Gojek is currently offered in our country, its services are available in Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Singapore and the Philippines.
