PETALING JAYA: The Youth and Sports Minister has met with Dego Ride chief executive officer Nabil Feisal Bamadhaj, after snubbing the Johor-based motorcycle taxi company for Indonesia's Gojek in a previous meeting with the Prime Minister and the Transport Minister.
“Before they were banned by the previous government, Dego successfully hired 1,500 mat motor . Salary RM1,500-RM3,500.
Dego Ride was the first company to launch a motorcycle taxi service in Malaysia, in late 2016, but was quickly declared illegal by the Barisan Nasional-led Transport Ministry in January 2017 citing safety concerns. Now, motorcycle-based e-hailing service is set to become a new industry in Malaysia, after Syed Saddiq's involvement in getting the Cabinet's approval to legalise the service.
While some welcomed the move, others criticised the Muar MP for endorsing a foreign company rather than supporting the homegrown startup Dego Ride.
