Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has announced a number of benefits that can probably be loosely grouped under the category of public transportation. This includes an increase in the FLYsiswa flight subsidies for students travelling between Peninsular and East Malaysia, the continuation of My50 pass, as well as the introduction of MyKomuter50. As should be obvious with the name, it’s the KTM equivalent of My50.
Going in that order, the FLYsiswa subsidy was raised to RM400 early last year, and as part of the Budget 2027 tabling, Anwar, who is also Finance Minister, has announced that this subsidy will be increased next year to RM500 per student. “This will benefit over 60,000 IPTA students”, with the accompanying slide breaking it down to public university, polytechnic and community college students.
