Extending the maximum RM599 fare for one-way economy class flights from the peninsula to Sabah, Sarawak, and Labuan, from three days to two weeks, in conjunction with Hari Raya Aidilfitri, will incur significant costs, Transport Minister Anthony Loke said.

Loke reiterated that the initiative, which also applies to other festive seasons, was undertaken by the Transport Ministry with no specific funding from the Treasury.
