PETALING JAYA: While most drivers welcome Grab’s one-time selfie verification requirement for passengers, there is mixed reaction from passengers. Shima Ashari, 35, from Shah Alam, said she was all for the new requirement following recent crimes involving Grab drivers or passengers. “There are laws protecting our personal data and Grab has also made it clear that our details won’t be abused, so I’m fine with it,” she said. “There is no point complaining about online privacy when their Facebook page or WhatsApp profile is open for the world to see,” said Tang. A driver who asked to be identified only as George lauded the new requirement as a step forward in protecting driver safety.
