Gojek

Rasanya umumnya tahu harga Grab sekarang melambung tinggi, tetapi kelihatan seperti akan ada persaingannya yang mungkin dapat membantu keadaan.

Gergasi teknologi Indonesia, Gojek, mungkin bakal memberi perkhidmatannya di negara kita berikutan sebuah Honda City dilihat di bandar Kuala Lumpur yang menayangkan lambang Gojek di sisinya, yang mungkin sebahagian daripada ujian oleh syarikat itu.

Sebelum ini, pada tahun 2019, Gojek dan juga syarikat e-hailing motosikal lain telah menjalankan ujian selama enam bulan di Malaysia, tetapi malangnya tak dibenarkan beroperasi.

Namun begitu, selain e-hailing motosikal, Gojek juga menawarkan perkhidmatan sama seperti Grab di Asia Tenggara, termasuk e-hailing kereta iaitu GoCar.

Oleh itu, Gojek mungkin akan memasuki Malaysia sebagai persaingan bagi Grab, sama seperti di negara Asia Tenggara yang lain.

Walaupun ini semua hanya spekulasi, dan tiada apa-apa maklumat pasti, Malaysia merupakan pasaran yang bagus untuk Gojek, dan ia juga mempunyai sumber untuk menyaingi Grab.

Sementara itu, Grab sedang mengadakan kempen yang berakhir pada 31 Julai, 2022, di mana pemandu baru yang mendaftar dengan syarikat itu akan mendapat bonus pendaftaran RM1,000 jika mereka mencapai KPI tertentu iaitu:

  • Akaun pemandu Grab diaktifkan antara 1 Jun – 31 Julai 2022
  • Pemandu harus melengkapkan 30 perjalanan (Pengangkutan) dalam jangka masa 30 hari dari tarikh pengaktifan untuk mendapatkan bonus RM500; atau
  • Lengkapkan 60 perjalanan (Pengangkutan) dalam jangka masa 30 hari dari tarikh pengaktifan untuk mendapat bonus RM1,000
  • Bonus akan dibayar melalui Grab cash wallet

Selain bonus pendaftaran di atas, Grab juga menawarkan subsidi penuh untuk pemandu yang ingin mengambil PSV.

  • Dego Ride and Gojek are allowed to start test runs on a limited scale in January 2020.

  • The pilot programme will determine the demand for bike e-hailing.

  • It will run for six months.

Motorcycle e-hailing service providers such as Dego Ride and Gojek are allowed to start test runs on a limited scale in January 2020.

They will begin operating based on a proof-of-concept basis to determine the demand for such service over a period of six months. This initial project will be carried out in the Klang Valley, where transport demands and woes are at their highest.

The announcement was made by Transport Minister YB Anthony Loke. He said that the proof-of-concept program will provide the government and the e-hailing firms the essential data to evaluate the service, while the government works on drafting the necessary legislation to govern motorcycle e-hailing service.

“Bike hailing will be an important component in providing a comprehensive public transport system, as a mode for first- and last-mile connectivity,” he told parliament when questioned.

In layman terms, first- and last-mile connectivity means taking another form of transport to connect you to and from the main means of transpiration i.e. MRT.

Dego Ride and Gojek are seen as the main challengers to the all-conquering Grab who bought out Uber operations in the Southeast Asian region. However, they relish the challenge and posted “Bring it on!” on their Twitter in response to the announcement.

The minister added, “Bike e-hailing will be subject to similar regulations as laid out for e-hailing,” in reference to Grab.

But Grab is hit hard by new regulations for drivers to apply for public service vehicle (PSV) license, permits and insurance besides getting health checks, apart from having their vehicles checked. Only 52% of Grabcar’s driver-partners have carried out what are required in October.

  • The Ministry of Transport expects to establish a legal framework and the terms for motorcycle e-hailing by the end of the year.

  • The Cabinet had agreed in principle to go ahead with the service.

  • There is no specific date on when the services will begin again.

The Ministry of Transport expects to establish a legal framework and the terms for motorcycle e-hailing by the end of the year.

“The ministry will update the legal framework and terms of service once the review process has been finalised and approved by the Cabinet,” the ministry said in a written response posted on Parliament’s website today.

The Cabinet had agreed in principal to green light the service in August this year. The decision was made after Youth and Sports Minister Syed Saddiq met with Go-Jek’s founder who had travelled from Indonesia.

It was an about turn for the Ministry of Transport and Cabinet who had carried on with the decision to ban motorcycle-hailing by the previous Barisan Nasional government.

That decision hit Dego Ride, the service which was started by a Malaysian company. The Ministry of Transport under the new government even issued a stern warning to Dego Ride to stop immediately.

However, Dego Ride proceeded to restart the service in August when the Cabinet agreed to go ahead with motorcycle e-hailing, but was told to cease their services again as the government had not set up a legal framework.

  • More than 400 Gojek riders and Indonesians protested outside the Malaysian embassy in Jakarta yesterday.

  • The demonstrations were held to protests against the disparaging remarks made by Big Blue Taxi founder Dato’ Shamsubahrin Ismail in a video.

  • They demanded that Shamsubahrin travel to Indonesia to apologize publicly.

More than 400 Gojek riders protested outside the Malaysian embassy in Jakarta yesterday.

The demonstrations were held to protests against the disparaging remarks made by Big Blue Taxi founder Dato’ Shamsubahrin Ismail in a video. Shamsubahrin said that the e-hailing service is meant for “poor” people like those in Jakarta, Indonesia, besides Thailand and Cambodia.

“This (Indonesia) is a poor country. We (Malaysia) are a rich country. If Indonesia’s youths are any good, they would not leave their country to look for a job,” he said in the video.

The video was circulated all the way to Indonesia where it infuriated Gojek riders. Gojek spokeswoman Theresia Ismiyanti demanded that Shamsubahrin travel to Indonesia to apologize publicly.

Shamsubahrin held a press conference on 30th August to apologize but blamed a “media report” on poverty in Indonesia, instead. He also sent a letter to the Malaysian embassy in Indonesia. It was since handed to the Garda association of motorcycle workers by the Malaysian Police Attaché.

However, the riders and Indonesians were unsatisfied with the apology and continued their demand for Shamsubahrin to visit the country. They even raised funds for him to travel there.

Shamsubahrin spouted the claims when he protested against the government’s desire to allow Gojek to operate here. To his credit, he suggested that Malaysian-based Dego Ride should be given priority over Gojek.

Servis e-hailing motosikal tempatan, Dego Ride, telah memberhentikan sementara perkhidmatan selepas dua hari beroperasi susulan menerima arahan daripada Kementerian Pengangkutan.

Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif Dego Ride, Nabil Feisal Bamadha berkata pihaknya akan melakukan pelancaran semula pada tarikh lain.

Menurut laporan Malaysiakini, Nabil menjelaskan bahawa setiap ‘rider’ telah dimaklumkan mengenai perkara tersebut.

“Kami mendapat maklum balas positif daripada pelanggan kami,” katanya.

Dalam perkembangan sama, pihak kementerian ketika ini telah membenarkan Dego Ride dan Gojek – servis e-hailing motosikal Indonesia – untuk beroperasi di Malaysia.

Inisiatif memperkenalkan servis e-hailing motosikal bermula daripada cadangan Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Syed Saddiq, yang mahu memberi peluang perniagaan kepada ‘mat motor’di Malaysia.

Pada Januari 2017, kerajaan pimpinan Barisan Nasional telah mengarahkan Dego Ride memberhentikan operasi mereka dan pada September 2018, Menteri Pengangkutan, Anthony Loke, turut berkata Malaysia belum bersedia untuk menerima servis seumpamanya beroperasi.

  • The founder of Big Blue Taxi apologized to Indonesians and Gojek riders over his disparaging remarks.

  • Datuk Shamsubahrin Ismail said that Gojek is only meant for “poor people” in Indonesia, Thailand, India and Cambodia in a video.

  • He claimed that what he said was based on a report on poverty in Indonesia.

The founder of Big Blue Taxi apologized to Indonesians and Gojek riders over his disparaging remarks.

Datuk Shamsubahrin Ismail had previously remarked in a video that Gojek service is only for “poor” people in countries such as Indonesia, Thailand, India and Combodia, while “Malaysians are rich enough to do without Gojek.”

CNN Indonesia reported that the video went viral in the country and sparked a firestorm of criticisms. It also led to Indonesian Gojek riders threatening to demonstrate in front of the Malaysian Embassy in Jakarta by the thousands.

“I hope there are no demonstrations in the interests and relationship between both countries,” Shamsubahrin told reporters during a press conference.

He then went on to blame a report about poverty in Indonesia (although he did not cite which particular report). “My statement is based on reports. If they think I’m wrong, I accept it.

The brouhaha began shortly after Youth and Sports Minister YB Syed Saddiq Syed Rahman announced his intention on lobbying the Cabinet to approve the Indonesia-based Gojek service in Malaysia. The service was then given a go-ahead by the Cabinet.

While it was an approval by principle according to Transport Minister YB Anthony Loke, it ran directly counter against his stand in banning motorcycle taxi services. He had even succinctly directed Malaysian-based Dego Ride to shut down. He was defensive when approached by reporters on the “u-turn” by remarking that, “You don’t have to remind me.”

To Shamsubahrin, the decision to approve Gojek was politically-driven.

Seramai 88 peratus menyokong cadangan Menteri Belia dan Sukan, Syed Saddiq Syed Abdul Rahman untuk mewujudkan perkhidmatan teksi motosikal atau ojek sepertimana yang telah diperkenalkan di negara jiran lain.

Menurut perkongsian di laman Twitter, Syed Saddiq bertanyakan pendapat rakyat Malaysia mengenai cadangan tersebut dan majoriti menyatakan sokongan.

Difahamkan, beliau mengetengahkan cadangan itu bagi membantu golongan muda yang mempunyai motosikal untuk memulakan perniagaan kecil.

“Anak muda Malaysia, saya perlukan suara anda untuk membantu golongan mat motor, adakah anda bersetuju dengan ekonomi gojek (kenderaan motosikal untuk perkhidmatan penghantaran penumpang, makanan atau perniagaan kecil)?

“Di Thailand dan Singapura, kurang setahun, ratusan ribu peluang pekerjaan baru tercipta”,”ujarnya.

Mei lalu, Menteri Pengangkutan, Anthony Loke Siew Fook dalam satu temu ramah dengan The Edge mendedahkan bahawa Gojek – servis e-hailing motosikal di Indonesia – berminat untuk memasuki pasaran Malaysia.

Dalam kenyataannya menyebut, “Malaysia menerima baik pelaburan luar, jika mereka mahu membuka syarikat di sini, kita menerima baik tindakan itu. Saya mendapat khabar berita bahawa mereka sedang dalam proses untuk membuka syarikat di sini.”

Bagaimanapun, kenyataan itu bercanggah dengan jawapan yang diberikan ketika dipersoalkan wakil Rembau, Khairy Jamaluddin, pada 31 Julai 2018 apabila Anthony Loke berkata Malaysia masih belum bersedia ekoran kadar kemalangan motosikal berada di paras tinggi.
