24-hour facility for delivery riders opens in KL
Kuala Lumpur has opened a 24-hour rest facility for delivery riders at a local hawker center to provide a safe space for resting and recharging. The initiative aims to support the gig economy workforce by offering amenities like prayer rooms and charging stations.
Why it matters
It reflects a growing trend of cities providing infrastructure specifically designed to support the welfare of the gig economy and delivery workforce.
FOOD and parcel delivery riders now have a dedicated space to rest and recover at D'Tebing, a hawker centre managed by Kuala Lumpur City Hall (DBKL) at Bulatan Dato Onn.
The report focuses on a public service initiative and includes quotes from officials and beneficiaries without partisan framing.
