School bus operators told to update driver records by Oct 30 for RM1,000 aid before Deepavali

The Land Public Transport Agency (APAD) has instructed all school bus owners and operators to update their drivers’ details by October 30 to receive a special financial aid of RM1,000 before Deepavali. This information can be submitted via APAD’s official portal. The required details include drivers’ names, addresses, phone numbers, valid driving and PSV licences, and bank account numbers for payment.

APAD has collaborated with school bus associations to ensure accurate eligibility verification and payment. The process involves cross-checking driver records against APAD, Commercial Vehicle Licensing Board (LPKP), and Road Transport Department (JPJ) databases to confirm licence validity and meet eligibility requirements. Payments will be issued in phases starting October 22, with an estimated 53,000 taxi, hire car, and school bus drivers set to receive the one-off payment.
