PETALING JAYA: The Sarawak government is looking into a proposal by e-hailing firm Grab to introduce “Grab sampan” along the Sarawak river as a pilot project.
Sarawak premier Abang Johari Openg said Grab’s proposed pilot project would involve electric-propulsion sampans booked online using cashless payments as part of modernising river-crossing services in Kuching.
“In Kuching, we are piloting the Grab electric sampan proof of concept, a modern reinterpretation of our iconic river transport,” he said, according to The Borneo Post.
