Uber Pulls Out From Malaysia

It's very unfortunate that Uber is sold to Grab in Southeast Asia. I like both, but for now I love Uber more. When Uber gives promo code, Uber tends to be sincere and the code is yours. You can claim it anytime you want, anywhere you want. When Grab gives promo code, you'll have to fight for it because it operates on a first-come, first-serve basis, which means most of the time I fail to claim the promo code given. On the other side, for every payment u made, Grab offer reward points that I can use to redeem a range of stuffs, while Uber doesn't offer point collection. Because I'm a student now who is basically unemployed, I love Uber more, because I can have many free rides.

It's sad that Uber is sold to Grab. This is not good for competition and definitely not good for the growth of e-hailing service in Malaysia because there is a dominance by a party. But there's nothing I can do. I'll just have to use Grab until I graduate and I do hope Grab can improve.
