Ministry mulls reintroducing improved Rahmah p-hailing internet plan: Fahmi
KUALA LUMPUR: The Communications Ministry will review the need to improve and reintroduce the Rahmah p-hailing internet service package, which was offered to e-hailing riders and drivers last year. Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil said he would instruct the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) to engage with the country's e-hailing platform providers to gather their input. "Last year, we launched the Rahmah p-hailing plan to help riders access more affordable packages. I've seen some have benefited from it. I hope users can also provide feedback so we can better understand how to improve it. "Perhaps we can work with the telcos and encourage them to offer better rates. Insya-Allah, we hope to introduce better packages for riders," he said when delivering his speech at the FoodPanda Durian Runtuh 2.0 launch at KL Gateway Mall today. On Jan 23 last year, Fahmi announced that p-hailing drivers and riders could enjoy internet services from as low as RM33 with data plans of at least 40GB, as a gesture of appreciation for the contributions of p-hailing drivers and riders. The plan, available until April 23, 2024, was introduced in collaboration with telecommunication providers, including CelcomDigi, Maxis, U Mobile, TM (Unifi Mobile), and YTL Communications (Yes 5G), as well as 16 p-hailing platform providers such as FoodPanda, Grab, Bungkusit, Shopee, and Lalamove.— BERNAMA
