Attention to all frequent Grab-users!
All Grab-passengers will be required to take a selfie for facial-verification starting from the 12th of July.

This addition is added to improve and ensure the safety of the Grab-passengers and Grab-drivers for any future altercations or incidents happening, that can be helpful to the authorities.
Grab has assured us that the selfies are private and will not be shown to the Grab-drivers once it is sent.
This is a big step for Grab since the case of a Grab-driver being murdered in Sabah. And we hope that it will continue to prevent things like these for many more.
