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.
