PUTRAJAYA – About 10,000 media practitioners throughout the country will enjoy a one-month rebate for their handphone bills under the Media Practitioner Rahmah Rebate incentives and implemented in September, said Communications and Digital Minister Fahmi Fadzil today.

Fahmi said the incentive is a tribute to media practitioners, who are the unsung heroes in propagating the Rahmah initiative under the Malaysia Madani concept.

“Insya-Allah (God-willing), the Media Practitioner Rahmah Rebate incentive can be carried out in September. 

“All media practitioners with Information Department-issued media cards are eligible to receive the rebate,” he said.

Speaking to reporters after launching the Rahmah 5G Package and Rahmah Postpaid Incentive for Civil Servants, Fahmi said the special incentive for media practitioners is the first joint effort by the Communications and Digital Ministry, Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission and telcos.

“We will have additional discussions,” he said, adding that details would be announced after the discussions with the telcos involved, namely TM (Unifi Mobile), CelcomDigi, Maxis, U Mobile and YTL Communications (Yes). – Bernama, August 29, 2023
