Government Provides 200 PSV Bus Licences To B40 In East Coast - Loke
According to Anthony Loke, the transport minister, 200 vocational Public Service Vehicle (PSV) bus licences are being given away to the B40 group in the east coast states. He said that it was in addition to the 500 PSV bus licences that had been made available by the government through the MyPSV programme, which had just been introduced. The offer to the B40 group, in particular for the states of Pahang, Terengganu, and Kelantan, was made, according to Loke, not because Kelantan and Terengganu have state elections coming up next month, but rather as a result of money allocated for corporate social responsibility (CSR) by the government organisation Malaysia Rail Link Sdn Bhd (MRL).
According to him, the states were chosen due to MRL's involvement in the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL) project's implementation, and the CSR funds were deemed appropriate to be returned to east coast residents.
"It is a surplus fund obtained from bank interest that we can channel as CSR allocations to help the people," he told NST. In order to jointly implement the initiative with the Road Transport Department (RTD), he expects cooperation from bus companies that run routes from the Klang Valley to the eastern states.
