Guest: Franchesca Chia (Co-Founder and CEO), GoGet | Rahman Hussin (Head of Business Development, Stakeholder Management & Investor Relations), Kiddocare Malaysia

Malaysia's recently passed Gig Workers Bill aims to formalise the industry and provide social protections. But for platform operators, its "one-size-fits-all" approach, heavily based on e-hailing, poses a critical threat to the 70% of gig workers who are part-time and work in diverse sectors like care and logistics.

GoGet's Franchesca Chia and Kiddocare's Rahman Hussin join us to unpack the serious, on-the-ground flaws in the bill.  A critical look at the unintended consequences of well-meaning regulation.

Presenter: Roshan Kanesan

Producer: Carol Wong
