Should have been $10 fee per order, minimum order of $50 worth of food. A 20 cent hike accomplishes fuck all.

Singapore has many crippled dickheads who cannot buy their own food. These are the strange shit people who cannot buy their own food but they have the time to keep pets at home

PKR MPs Wong Chen and Nurul Izzah Anwar say that while first-mover advantage is recognised, the government must move in after a while to spread the business.
PETALING JAYA: The country’s antitrust laws need to be reviewed in light of “monopolistic” practices by companies such as Grab, two PKR MPs said, with one even suggesting that the multibillion-dollar start-up should be broken up.
Speaking at a webinar today, Subang MP Wong Chen and Permatang Pauh MP Nurul Izzah Anwar said that while they appreciated the impact that platforms such as Grab have had in boosting the gig economy, they were concerned about the company’s dominance.
Wong said he was aware that companies such as Grab were able to capitalise on their first-mover advantage to create strong brand recognition and customer loyalty, but felt that the government should consider the dangers of monopoly.
Starting off as a ride-hailing firm in 2012, Grab has since diversified into digital payments and food delivery services and is now Southeast Asia’s most valuable start-up worth more than US$16 billion. It acquired the earlier ride-hailing firm Uber’s Southeast Asian operations in 2018

Notice they used the neutral-sounding term 'fee adjustments'. Must have learnt a trick or two from the public transport cronies: 'fare revisions'.

Sinkies should know that voting is not something you do every few years. Everyone is constantly voting with his or her feet or wallet.

Using Grab is a choice.

Sounds like the bullshit term 'right-sizing' for retrenchments. I believe Grab's management got the potential to be future PAP MPs.
