Grab driver earns RM3,000-5,000/month full-time. Good as side income, risky as primary without planning for EPF and health coverage.

Gig income without EPF is the long-term risk few people calculate. Voluntary EPF contributions are available — use them.

Full-time gig works best with multiple income streams, not reliance on one platform. Single platform dependency is fragile.
