Maxim Malaysia Shares Stories Of Drivers Successfully Boosting Their Income

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 11 (Bernama) -- E-hailing service Maxim Malaysia has successfully provided opportunities for drivers to start earning an income, manage flexible work schedules and support their families.

Maxim Malaysia, in a statement today, shared stories of how its e-hailing platform has helped support the livelihoods of people in various regions of the country, whether through primary or supplementary income.

Drawing on the experiences of three Maxim Malaysia drivers from Kelantan, Kuching in Sarawak and Kota Kinabalu in Sabah who have successfully generated income, the company said their stories shared a common theme, namely how e-hailing services had created more income opportunities for communities across different regions.

“Mohd Khairul Ikwan Hamzah from Kelantan started driving with Maxim to improve his financial situation and build a more stable future for himself and his family, as his previous income had been insufficient,” the statement said.

It also highlighted how Anna, a mother of three from Kuching who turned to e-hailing after losing her job during the COVID-19 pandemic, was now earning an estimated RM4,000 to RM6,000 a month.

“Family expenses, housing loan repayments and the cost of her children's education prompted her to seek an additional source of income. For Anna, this job is not merely a source of income but also an opportunity to share financial responsibilities with her husband and support her children's future,” the statement said.

Maxim Malaysia said Jimmy Wong, 40, from Kota Kinabalu, who returned home and joined the company after working for 20 years as an information technology (IT) technician in Singapore, was now able to earn an estimated RM6,000 to RM7,000 a month.

According to the statement, difficulties in securing an IT job in his hometown with earnings comparable to his previous employment, coupled with his experience in Singapore's e-hailing industry, prompted Wong to join Maxim Malaysia to rebuild his financial stability while also seeking to spend time caring for his mother.

Maxim Malaysia said e-hailing work, which did not require office facilities, allowed individuals to start receiving bookings within a short period and gave drivers the flexibility to manage their own workload.

Maxim Malaysia began operations in 2019, receiving its first booking in Kuantan, Pahang, before expanding its services nationwide to provide opportunities for people to earn supplementary income or make it their primary source of income.

The Maxim application can be downloaded from Google Play Store, App Store, Huawei AppGallery, GetApps, Oppo App Market, Vivo App Store and Galaxy Store.
