Kuala Lumpur, 25 March 2025 – inDrive, the global mobility and urban services platform, successfully concluded its Roda Kasih initiative this Ramadan, distributing more than 10,000 portions of bubur lambuk and kurma across Penang, Johor Bahru, and the Klang Valley while supporting local small vendors.
More than just a meal, each bowl of bubur lambuk symbolised inDrive’s mission of fairness and inclusivity, a reflection of the belief that everyone deserves a seat at the table, especially during this sacred month of togetherness. Just as inDrive challenges inequality through its people-powered platform, this initiative aimed to share the joy of breaking fast with everyone, ensuring the spirit of giving extended to all corners of the community.
To further its impact, inDrive sourced all bubur lambuk and kurma from local small vendors, helping to boost their businesses during the festive period. This approach not only ensured freshly prepared, authentic meals but also directly benefited small-scale entrepreneurs who rely on Ramadan sales for their livelihoods.
The initiative touched lives across Ramadan bazaars, B40 housing areas, and hospitals, offering more than just a warm meal. It also provided a meaningful platform for inDrive’s driver community to embrace the spirit of giving. More than 30 drivers volunteered their time and effort, not only delivering bubur lambuk but also engaging with the people they serve daily. Their participation underscored their role as more than just drivers but key contributors to the communities around them.
In Johor Bahru, inDrive took an even more impactful approach by extending support to victims of the recent devastating floods. inDrive stepped in by distributing food and essential supplies at a temporary relief centre (PPS) sheltering over 400 flood victims. While floodwaters have started receding in some areas, many families are still unable to return home due to severe mud damage. By assisting those affected, inDrive reinforced its dedication to standing by the community in times of need.
“The overwhelming response from both the public and our drivers has been truly heartwarming. Seeing our drivers actively participate in giving back to the community reflects the strong sense of togetherness that Ramadan inspires. As we continue to grow, we remain committed to fostering an inclusive and supportive environment for both drivers and the community. We hope to create more opportunities like this in the future, strengthening our connection with our Malaysian community,” said Azlan Anwar, Driver Operations Manager – inDrive Malaysia.
Through Roda Kasih, inDrive reaffirms its commitment to uplifting communities by providing mobility solutions, actively supporting local businesses, and ensuring fairness reaches all levels of society. Whether it’s sharing a warm meal during Ramadan or stepping up in times of crisis, inDrive remains dedicated to making a meaningful difference in the lives of Malaysians. As the platform continues to grow, so does its mission to drive positive change, proving that real impact goes beyond transportation, it’s about people, purpose, and compassion.
