Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, 14 November 2017 – As Malaysia banded together in alleviating hardships encountered in Penang due to the recent severe floods, oBike’s PrayForPenang Campaign to help those affected by the floods was concluded successfully on 12 November.
As part of this campaign, oBike, the first smart dockless bikesharing operator, provided free rides for all oBike users from 8 – 12 November 2017, with no deposit required. oBike has pledged to donate RM2,000 daily to the Penang Storm and Flood Relief Fund when 10,000 oBike users have completed their rides every day within this period.
A total of over 50,000 oBikers had come together from 8 – 12 November in support of this campaign and completed the target. These are oBike users across Malaysia, including Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Johor, and Terengganu who have come together in unity to make this happen.
“We are really glad that oBikers in Malaysia have come together in times of need and joined us in this meaningful cause. As a responsible operator, we are committed to giving back to society whenever there is a need. We wish those affected a speedy recovery and comeback.” said Ng Yong Ching, Business Launcher of oBike.
