GEORGE TOWN: Schoolbus drivers here are happy that they have been included in the RM40bil Pemerkasa Plus stimulus aid package announced by the Prime Minister.

To help Malaysians weather the challenges during the lockdown, a one-off cash aid of RM500 would be given to drivers of tour vehicles, taxis, buses, and e-hailing drivers.
