SHAH ALAM, June 14 — The registration period to signup for a RM20 transportation rebate when using Grab’s e-hailing service to vaccination centres (PPV) will open starting June 20 via Selangor Platform (Plats).
Menteri Besar Selangor (Incorporated), or MBI, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) head Ahmad Azri Zainal Nor said priority will be given to the people of Selangor aged 50-years-old and above.
He said the state agency is anticipating 50,000 individuals will benefit from the initiative that was announced by Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari through the Kita Selangor Package 2.0 on Wednesday.
“There are 34 PPVs in Selangor and we are offering the transport rebate of RM10 for a one-way trip. The move is part of the efforts to encourage the public to get themselves vaccinated.
“They should not be saying that transportation or money is an issue as we have now provided this avenue so that they would receive their shots,” he said when met after a wheelchair giveaway ceremony in Section 13, here today.
Ahmad Azri said MBI will also be collaborating with community service centres, council members and village head to speed up the registration process.
“We are targeting about 1,000 rebates will be redeemed daily until we reach the 50,000 mark. If there is a need to increase the number, then we will work on that, he said, adding that there are plans to offer the rebate to those aged below 50 which will be announced later.
