RM3.7 Million in Subsidised RON95 Petrol Purchased Under Budi95 Initiative

As of 12 noon today, a total of RM3.7 million worth of RON95 petrol has been purchased at the subsidised price of RM1.99 per litre since the Budi Madani RON95 (Budi95) initiative was launched yesterday. This figure represents purchases made by over 90,000 members of the Malaysian Armed Forces (ATM) and Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) who were the first to benefit from the programme.
Initial Uptake by Security Forces

The Budi95 initiative commenced with members of the ATM and PDRM, with over 90,000 individuals utilising the subsidised petrol scheme. This group represents a significant portion of the more than 300,000 eligible recipients within these services. The total value of purchases by this group reached RM3.7 million by midday today, indicating a strong initial response.
Expansion to STR Recipients

Following the initial rollout, the Budi95 initiative was expanded today to encompass over five million recipients of the Sumbangan Tunai Rahmah (STR) under the B40 category. As of 12 noon today, more than 200,000 STR recipients had already begun utilising the facility, with the total purchase value for this broader group still being compiled.
Smooth Operations Amidst Minor Technical Issues

Reports from petrol stations nationwide indicate that the Budi95 operations are running smoothly, with a stable system and properly functioning MyKad verification at terminals. While the overall implementation has been successful, minor technical complaints have been noted. These primarily involve issues such as inactive driving licences, unreadable MyKad chips, and the use of outdated identity card numbers.
Efforts to Resolve Technical Challenges

To address the reported technical challenges, relevant government agencies, including the Road Transport Department (JPJ) and the National Registration Department (JPN), are providing operational support. These departments are working in conjunction with the Budi95 implementation team to resolve issues related to identification and licence verification, ensuring a more seamless experience for eligible recipients.
