‘The number of additional buses is expected to increase until the LPS application deadline at 4 pm today. Last year, a total of 256 additional buses were approved by APAD,” said Loke during a press conference after checking on the operations at TBS here.
Also present were APAD director general Datuk Azlan Shah Al Bakri and Maju Holdings Group chief executive officer Datuk Roslan Sharif.
