It is set to begin from 15 August 2023.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">According to Transport Minister Anthony Loke,\u00a0 the initiative will be implemented through a credit shell where participating airlines will issue a digital voucher worth RM300 to each eligible student to redeem for purchasing flight tickets for domestic routes. The domestic routes cover flights between Peninsular Malaysia, Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, Loke also cautioned that the subsidy is only valid for one-way or return economy class flight tickets between the student\u2019s place of origin and place of study. He also mentioned that if the ticket purchased costs less than RM300, the balance of the digital voucher could be used for the next ticket purchase.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students must redeem the voucher by 31st October 2023. Once redeemed, the voucher can be used to purchase flight tickets from Malaysia Airlines, AirAsia, Batik Air, Firefly and MYAirline.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to apply for the subsidy, public university students will need to check their eligibility for the initiative through the Transport Ministry\u2019s website, which will be available at a later date.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Transport Ministry is offering domestic students a subsidy to travel
