Budget 2025: Profits from sale of special number plates to be channeled to help the less privileged

The tabling of Budget 2025 by finance minister and prime minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim is currently ongoing today, and this has revealed that profits from the sales of special series number plates will be channeled to the less privileged.

Proceeds going to the MyLesen B2 license programme (for motorcycles under 250 cc of engine capacity) will benefit 15,000 youth participants of the MyLesen programme.

Aimed at the B40 group, this license assistance programme packages tests and lessons at RM300 per candidate. Launched in May 2023, RM2.7 million was allocated for this purpose under Budget 2023.

Profits from the sale of special number plates will also go to the distribution of 67,000 helmets to motorcyclists, free of charge. Meanwhile, proceeds from special number plates will also fund flight tickets for 60,000 tertiary graduates from Sabah and Sarawak.

    67,000 free helmets is a total waste of money. Helmets are of no use when the recipients ride against traffic, run red lights, and speed between vehicles in a traffic jam with no room for emergency braking.

  • We gonna be very poor when we start paying more for petrol from mid 2025 & can’t afford special number plates anymore. The recipients not gonna appreciate those free helmets anyway. Just look at them on Fridays. Maybe they are protected by deities?

  • At the end of the period, will they show the record how much every less privileged received? If no, then don’t talk male chicken.
