KUALA LUMPUR: A total of 53,000 taxi drivers, private hire car drivers, and school bus drivers across the country will receive a special RM1,000 financial aid payment next week, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced today while unveiling the 2027 budget in the Dewan Rakyat. The assistance covers 38,000 taxi and private hire drivers, as well as 15,000 school bus drivers, following the recent sale of new H-series license plates.

Anwar, who is also the Finance Minister, said that the results of the recent plate sales can be utilized to improve the well-being of the people. He added that proceeds from previous H-series plate sales will also be used to provide free airfare tickets to students, subsidize motorcycle B2 license tests for underprivileged youth, and distribute free kebaya garments. According to earlier reports, the new H-series plate sales campaign has generated RM91.21 million.
