PUTRAJAYA, Sept 3 — Media practitioners using postpaid and prepaid plans will receive a rebate in conjunction with this year’s National Month celebrations, according to Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil.
He urged all media practitioners with prepaid plans to ensure their phone numbers are registered with the Information Department so rebates can be credited.
“Some media practitioners have informed us they do not use postpaid plans. We have listened to this feedback, and I have requested the ministry liaise with telcos.
“As a result, all media practitioners this year (in conjunction with Merdeka month) will receive a rebate, whether they use postpaid or prepaid plans,” he told a press conference here today.
The Rahmah Rebate Incentive for media practitioners is a one-off incentive on their mobile phone bills for August, which is National Month.
Fahmi added that the rebate amount will be determined by telcos, with implementation overseen by the Communications Ministry.
“This year, the rebate provided is better than last year,” he said.
