  "account": "Nur Ahmad Faiz Azmi developed the Misi Delivery app over the course of a month, after teaching himself through online resources. Initially, gaining users proved challenging, taking eight months to achieve. The idea originated during the pandemic when Faiz noticed food delivery riders faced low pay and safety risks, while merchants were concerned about high commission rates. Faiz, formerly an entrepreneur in the clothing-printing industry, invested around RM30,000 of his own money to bring the app to life. Despite skepticism, Faiz persevered, gradually expanding the service to include areas such as Meru, Pulau Indah, and Klang. Currently, Misi Delivery boasts around 200,000 registered vendors and 40,000 riders across several states in Malaysia. The platform operates on a unique business model where merchants maintain their prices and retain full sales, while riders receive a minimum payment of RM5 per 5km traveled. After starting as a T-shirt printing business, Faiz faced doubts but remained committed to the project, eventually building a team of 14 to manage the growing service.",
