Petaling Jaya, 8 April 2020 - Today, the governments of Selangor and Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur officially announced their partnership with Grab Malaysia. These partnerships will see the homegrown company working with state councils to digitise our beloved Bazar Ramadan to serve Malaysians from the comfort and safety of their own homes.

“Each year, micro-entrepreneurs and social sellers look forward to the season as their busiest period. They participate in their neighbourhood Bazar Ramadan, and organise pop-up stores across our cities. But without a physical presence this year, they may not yield the same sales as before. Therefore, we want to support them to go cashless and expand their reach to millions of Grab users and use our ecosystem with services like GrabPay, GrabFood and GrabExpress* to help them continue to thrive and deliver their goods directly to Malaysian homes, be it bazar favourites, cookies or Hari Raya outfits,” said Sean Goh, Country Head of Grab Malaysia.
