Yesterday mark the start date for Malaysians motorists to get their road tax rebates. (An attempt from the government to cushion the blow of the recent fuel hike). The rebate of up to RM625.00 – private vehicle; RM150.00 for motorcycles, are for those who had paid their road tax within April and May. For those who had paid before April you’re not eligible for rebate this year, while for those after the month of May, you’ll get it in July.
Even though the claim period is from yesterday till the end of March next year, being typical Malaysians, when there are announcement of cash rebates, everyone would be queuing up since the wee hour in the morning.
Mom was paranoid. She woke me up 2 hours early to drive all the way to the post office. Her exact words are “I’m getting the cash today no matter what! Mana tahu now they say got rebate, next week say rebate called off?!”.
-_-” Nothing beats getting hands on cold hard cash huh?. I guess most of the people especially elders have the same thinking because there were so many people waiting for the post office gate to open. For a mere RM150.00 rebate, some motorcyclists were banging the gate with their helmets nearly causing a riot. Yeah, people are really getting that poor and desperate with the new fuel price.
Since there were 2 counters open for that day, we waited almost 3 hour to get the RM1250. RM1250 coz it’s for 2 vehicles. I strongly advise you to get an old dying car just to rip the road tax rebates. How’s that for a backup plan? *muahahaha!
Ps: You can opt of the “kiriman wang” (postal order) if you don’t have time to stand in the queue. They’ll send the cheque to your home.
RM1250 is huge asmount but it will all be gone with the current petrol price hike! if my bicycle can get road tax rebate then good lor :)
paiseh dunnoe why ter double post pulak :p
So, if I renew my road tax this year October, I can only get rebate on Dec?
HAHAHAHAHA UR MOM IS FUNNY!! mana tau this week got nex week dun have ahhahaha good lar ur cars road tax is recently wan..
my mother is ok with it…she laugh looking at the news… :)
Government should have just sent to us directly… instead of asking us to claim from post office.
If they can do it with income tax refund, I am sure that is a way.
I’ll be collecting RM1875 :)
*Hugs his old dying cars*

simon>> i’m not sure but i think you get it when you go pay the road tax.
This recent rebates are for those who had already paid the road tax before they announced the rebate ma.
