STR Recipients to Access BUDI95 Subsidies from September 28

STR recipients in the B40 group will commence receiving their BUDI95 subsidies on September 28. This follows the initial rollout of the Budi madani RON95 (BUDI95) initiative, which began smoothly for Royal Malaysia Police (PDRM) and Malaysian Armed Forces (ATM) personnel. Approximately 300,000 military and police personnel are currently benefiting from this programme, purchasing RON95 petrol at a subsidised rate of RM1.99 per litre, compared to the market price of RM2.05.
Initial Rollout for Security Forces Successful

The first phase of the BUDI95 initiative, implemented for PDRM and ATM personnel, proceeded without issues. This initial deployment served as a critical stress test for the system and participating petrol stations, ensuring readiness for broader public access. The Home Minister noted the smooth operation as a positive assessment of the system's capacity, aiming to prevent disruptions during wider implementation.
Access for B40 Group Commences September 28

Following the successful implementation for security forces, the subsidy programme will extend to STR recipients within the B40 income group starting September 28. This marks the next significant step in making the subsidised RON95 petrol accessible to a wider segment of the population.
Broader Public Access Begins September 30

The BUDI95 initiative is slated for an even wider rollout on September 30, granting access to an estimated 16 million Malaysians. Eligibility for this group extends to all individuals aged 16 and above who possess a MyKad and a valid driving licence, further expanding the reach of the fuel subsidy programme.
