On December 30, to cushion the losses suffered by motorists whose vehicles were damaged by the recent floods, the government announced the provision of RM1,000 voucher that can be used for the repair of a private vehicle or towards the replacement of a vehicle deemed as a ‘total loss’.
Further details of this aid have been revealed by finance minister Datuk Seri Tengku Zafrul Abdul Aziz. Via a statement, he said that the voucher will be provided to all Malaysians eligible for the aid, which is being distributed as part of the Keluarga Malaysia Flood Aid initiative.
The discount voucher is applicable for use with all privately-owned cars, motorcycles, pick-up trucks and window vans, but must be redeemed via service centres of the 19 automotive companies participating in the scheme.
The car companies involved in the assistance scheme are Proton, Perodua, Tan Chong Motors (Nissan), UMW Toyota Motor, Honda Malaysia, Mitsubishi Motors Malaysia, Volvo Car Malaysia, TC Euro Cars (Renault), Mercedes-Benz Malaysia, BMW Malaysia, Sime Darby Motor Group (Ford, Hyundai etc), Bermaz (Mazda, Peugeot, and Kia), Motor Image (Subaru) and Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia.
As for motorcycles, the companies involved in the scheme are Hong Leong Yamaha Motor, Boon Siew Honda, Modenas, Mofaz Motorsikal and KMSB Motors (Suzuki).
Zafrul said that vehicle owners need not make any application to benefit from the discount, and that owners of vehicles damaged as a result of flooding can just redeem the voucher at service centres or at authorised dealers of the companies involved in the scheme.
He said the cost reduction will apply directly to the overall repair or replacement costs, and would be reflected through the invoice issued by the service centre or authorised dealer. He added that the validity for the discount voucher was until March 31, and advised affected motorists to utilise the voucher before then to avoid any inconvenience.

Trims kaseh Caring Penyayang Better Nation
The workshops have told the news media that the total repair cost of a flood damaged car can cost from RM10k to 40k, depending on the model & the extent of the damage. So, good luck for trying to come up with the other RM9k to 39k.
Some say workshops will jack up prices to max rm1000 and others say workshop repair cost is 40k, not sure who to trust nowadays. But thanks anyway Gomen! Terbaek!
Gomen is only giving RM 1k voucher for flood damage repair. Gomen did not instruct all workshops to charge up to maximum RM 1k for this type of repair. If you don’t believe or trust the workshops, you should then try requesting the gomen terbaek to repair your flood damaged car for not more than RM 1k.
Good work Gomen for assisting owners affected by floods
It actually only involves paperwork after receiving the approvals. The actual hard work is done by the workers at the workshops.
Bila dah bagi, komplen.
Bila tak bagi, juga komplen.
Lebih xyah repair, kau org semua naik kuda atau kereta lembu dahhh…
Good. If you can’t trust the workshops’ flood damage repair charges, you yourself can change to riding horses or bullock carts.
Only selected companies.
for motorbike, most of us already sent to normal workshop. Cost on average around RM200-400 depending on model & items affected. All of us need medium for transport urgently.
So how?
