Transport minister Anthony Loke yesterday said taxi drivers in Melaka will receive the RM1,000 assistance announced in Budget 2027 on Monday (today), reports the New Straits Times.
“To all taxi drivers in Melaka, please take note: I will be coming down this Monday morning to disburse RM1,000 directly to each taxi driver,” he said, adding that the aid was funded through the sale of special ‘H’ number plates, which raised an impressive RM91 million.
