The Ministry of Transportation (MOT) has announced that flight tickets to East Malaysia will be capped at just RM599 for one-way tickets, thanks to a new government subsidy.<\/p>\n
This initiative will cover flight tickets from Peninsular Malaysia to Sabah, Sarawak, and Labuan. What this means is that the government will pay the difference between the actual price and the capped price. However, it is only available for the 3 days before a major festival public holiday.<\/p>\n
It is important to note that the subsidy will only cover the base fare of an economy flight, and not the other extraneous fees and taxes. Change of passenger name, date of departure or flight number are not allowed. The ticket will also be non-refundable.<\/p>\n
