Eligible taxi, rental car, and school bus drivers will receive RM1,000 financial aid via Electronic Funds Transfer in the next phase.
The initial phase included direct handover events in selected zones, with Penang hosting a ceremony for symbolic representatives.

GEORGE TOWN, Oct 17 — The remaining eligible taxi, rental car and school bus drivers nationwide will receive the RM1,000 Special Financial Aid directly into their respective bank accounts through Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT).
Transport Minister Anthony Loke said the disbursement through this method would be carried out in the next phase, following the first phase of direct handovers to eligible drivers in several zones.
He said that in the first phase, the aid would be handed directly to eligible recipients in selected zones, with Penang hosting the second presentation ceremony after the launch in Putrajaya on October 14.
“For the second ceremony, we are very pleased to be able to bring together 700 taxi and rental car drivers in Penang, who were selected as symbolic representatives to receive the aid in person.
“All the aid will be handed over to those who have been verified as eligible before Deepavali,” he told reporters after the special financial aid presentation ceremony for taxi, rental car and school bus drivers at Dewan Sri Pinang here today.
He also reminded drivers to ensure that they met the eligibility requirements to facilitate the screening of recipient data.
The main requirements include holding a driver card and a valid vehicle licence or permit (VP), as well as a valid Public Service Vehicle (PSV) licence.
Loke also urged drivers to keep abreast of announcements by the Land Public Transport Agency (APAD), the Commercial Vehicle Licensing Board (LPKP) Sabah and LPKP Sarawak regarding the required information and verification process.
He said coordination among agencies under the Transport Ministry was important to ensure that the screening of recipient data was carried out transparently and fairly.
“I know that this RM1,000 may not solve all your problems or fully cover vehicle maintenance costs. However, I sincerely hope this assistance can, to some extent, ease your household expenses, help you replace worn-out tyres or fill your fuel tanks so that you can continue going out to earn a living,” he said.
On October 9, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced a one-off RM1,000 special financial aid for taxi, rental car and school bus drivers as one of the initiatives under Budget 2027. — Bernama

符合条件的出租车、租赁汽车和校车司机将在下一阶段通过电子转账获得 1000 令吉的经济援助。
初期阶段包括在选定区域举行直接交接活动，槟城将举办象征性代表的交接仪式。
司机必须符合相关运输机构公布的资格标准，援助旨在减轻他们的经济负担。
乔治市，10 月 17 日讯——全国剩余符合资格的出租车、租赁汽车和校车司机将通过电子资金转账 (EFT) 直接在其各自的银行账户中收到 1000 令吉的特别财政援助。
交通部长陆兆福表示，在几个区域直接向符合条件的司机发放补贴后，下一阶段将采用这种方式发放补贴。
他表示，第一阶段，援助物资将直接发放给选定地区的合格受益人，继 10 月 14 日在布城启动仪式后，槟城将举办第二次发放仪式。
“在第二场仪式上，我们非常高兴能够聚集槟城的 700 名出租车和租车司机，他们被选为象征性的代表，亲自接受援助。
“所有援助款项都将在屠妖节前发放给那些已被核实符合资格的人，”他今天在槟榔阁为出租车、租车和校车司机举行的特别财政援助发放仪式后告诉记者。
他还提醒司机们确保自己符合资格要求，以便于筛选收款人数据。
主要要求包括持有驾驶员卡和有效的车辆驾驶执照或许可证（VP），以及有效的公共服务车辆（PSV）驾驶执照。
陆兆福还敦促司机们密切关注陆路公共交通机构（APAD）、沙巴商用车辆执照局（LPKP）和砂拉越商用车辆执照局（LPKP）发布的有关所需信息和验证程序的公告。
他表示，交通部下属各机构之间的协调对于确保接收者数据的筛选工作以透明、公平的方式进行至关重要。
“我知道这1000令吉可能无法解决您所有的问题，也无法完全支付车辆维修费用。但是，我真诚地希望这笔援助能在一定程度上减轻您的家庭开支，帮助您更换磨损的轮胎或加满油箱，让您能够继续外出谋生，”他说。
