National postal services provider Pos Malaysia Bhd has been appointed as the agent to disburse the rebates promised by the government to car and motorcycle owners.
Malaysians can start claiming the subsidies at all 686 post offices nationwide beginning July 1, where vehicle owners who made the claims personally at post offices will be paid in cash, Pos Malaysia said in a statement yesterday.
To help citizens cope with the fuel price hike, the government has promised a road tax subsidy for vehicle owners from April 1, 2008 to March 31, 2009. Owners of 2000cc and below cars and of up to 2500cc pick-up trucks and jeeps are entitled to RM625 for each vehicle. Those with motorcycles of up to 250cc will receive RM150 each.
Vehicle owners who send third parties to make claims, however, need to furnish Pos Malaysia with their mailing addresses, after which money orders will be mailed to the respective owners.
Details of the claims procedures and required documents would be revealed soon, Pos Malaysia said.
