Passenger transport music in Malaysia
MACP lists transportation / aircraft classes among music-user tariffs — still works-only. PPM/RPM apply when recordings play. Not LMKN transport class.
Three things to remember
- Number / status: Pull MACP transport / aircraft rows for the current tariff year; add PPM/RPM.
- Who to pay: MACP · PPM + RPM. Keep the invoice / licence in the premises’ name and address.
- Not this: A final invoice from Thon · legal advice · collecting for CMOs. Verify before you wire.

Operator pays
Carrier or fleet owner — not the passenger.
