KUALA LUMPUR – In this episode of Scoop Insight, Indrive’s country representative, Govin Kumar, joins us to discuss the newly passed Gig Workers Bill 2025 and its potential impact on Malaysia’s gig economy.
While welcoming the legislation, Indrive highlights the need for balanced regulations that protect workers without stifling the flexibility that defines gig work. Govin also addresses the recent three-month probation Indrive faced with the Transport Ministry due to compliance issues with the e-hailing vehicle permit (EVP).
He explains the situation, clarifying the administrative glitch during a system migration that led to gaps in data. Govin and Indrive’s communications manager for Southeast Asia, Shaerine Kaur, discuss the corrective actions taken, including constant engagement with the Land Public Transport Agency (APAD) and the reinstatement of their license with a probationary period.
Tune in to hear about the challenges faced by e-hailing platforms, the importance of transparency in regulations, and the ongoing dialogue between authorities and gig companies in Malaysia. – September 12, 2025
