What specific groups are targeted for the additional diesel subsidy allowance?

Question

Accepted Answer

The additional diesel subsidy allowance is targeted at private pick-up and jeep owners, plus MSME traders and rural commuters.

Finance Minister II Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan said private owners of eligible diesel vehicles such as pick-up trucks and jeeps can apply for an additional 100 litres per month. He also said the extra allowance is meant to support additional needs, particularly for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) traders and people commuting from rural areas.
Private diesel vehicle owners eligible for the extra 100 litres
The additional 100 litres per month is specifically targeted at qualifying private diesel vehicle owners, including pick-up truck and jeep owners. Those who qualify can apply for the extra allowance through the BUDI Madani portal, which is used to manage monthly entitlements.
MSMEs traders named as a key group for extra needs
The finance minister stated that the additional allowance is intended to support extra needs for MSMEs traders. This group is highlighted alongside rural commuters as part of the purpose for extending the extra diesel quota.
People commuting from rural areas
Rural commuters are also singled out as a group the extra allowance is meant to support. The statement links the additional allowance to commuting needs for people travelling from rural areas, in addition to MSMEs traders.
How the targeted groups fit into the wider programme limit
The programme sets a base eligibility limit of up to 200 litres per month, with flexibility for eligible recipients to use the quota for subsidised diesel or RON95. For the specific category of eligible pick-up and jeep owners, applying for the additional 100 litres raises the total entitlement to up to 300 litres per month.
