During the Movement Control Order (MCO) period, our frontliners have been working hard and selflessly to keep us all safe from the virus, and one of them is our delivery riders.

Despite the scorching hot weather or heavy rain, they manage to always deliver our orders on time, putting their own health and safety at risk.
foodpanda recognises that their riders play an important role in the community and as part of their mission to support the safety and well-being of its riders.
