JAKARTA: President Prabowo Subianto has called on ride-hailing companies, particularly homegrown Gojek and Singapore-based Grab, to grant a holiday bonus for online drivers and couriers working for the platform ahead of the Idul Fitri (Hari Raya Aidilfitri) celebrations later this March.
He emphasised that the “bonus” should be given in cash and based on the drivers' level of activity on the platform.
