The Transport Ministry’s move to fund the training of 300 new bus drivers in Sarawak will be a game changer for the public transport sector.

Transport Minister Anthony Loke recently said his ministry would provide training for candidates to obtain the E class and Public Service Vehicle (PSV) licences, with the Federal Government covering the costs amounting to between RM3,000 and RM5,000 per person.
