As many of you already know, our government has announced the conditional movement control order (CMCO). Essentially, most businesses can now reopen but mass gatherings and educational institutions are still not allowed. Many companies have to change how they operate again, including GrabCar which has already updated its operational rules to align with the CMCO.

Based on a statement by the Malaysian government, e-Bazaar will not be allowed to operate due to the Movement Control Order (MCO) which is in effect until 28 April 2020. Other than that, they’ve also mentioned that regular e-hailing services including GrabFood are still allowed to operate even during the MCO albeit with some restrictions.

Starting from 1 April until 14 April 2020, Grab has announced that all small restaurants and hawker stalls are to receive rebates for every GrabFood offer. Not only that, but Grab also aims to generate more visibility towards the restaurants mentioned via the ‘Local Heroes’ Campaign as well.
