Thanks for your feedback bro...I believe the above stated frequency will be used throughout the drive. If indeed there is a need for a change, the committee will inform before hand and explain the reason(s) for the change.

 

Thanks Bro, it was a collective decision from the committee since the other thread was rather long with information all over.

 

Hi Bro JFT,

RM40 is the subsidized cost....we are still trying to get a better deal...but this is the quote we got at the moment...any shortfall or top up will be notified to u guys accordingly....

 

Hi bro,
