He said RM3.3mil had been allocated for the one-off assistance under the Strategic Programme to Empower the People and Economy.
“Those who have already received the special assistance such as school bus, tour bus, taxis or e-hailing drivers are no longer eligible as the aid is especially for express bus drivers,” Dr Wee said in a statement.Another condition is that the individual or express bus driver must hold a valid Vocational Licence, taking into account the licence renewal exemption period that has been granted by the Transport Ministry throughout 2021.
He said the express bus companies or operators are required to submit the full details of the individuals or express bus drivers under their employment to APAD, Sabah or Sarawak CVLB to determine their eligibility and distribution of funds.Express bus companies or operators can contact the nearest APAD or Sabah and Sarawak CVLB offices for assistance, he said, adding that the aid will be distributed as soon as the funds reach the MOT and the relevant implementing agencies.
He said a guideline on safe operating procedures will be developed to help express bus operators provide the best service possible once interstate restrictions are lifted and domestic tourism activities are allowed under the National Recovery Plan.
