Diesel subsidy programme to offer RM200 per month to diesel owners – pump prices up to RM3.33/litre soon

Diesel subsidy programme to offer RM200 per month to diesel owners – pump prices up to RM3.33/litre soon

The ministry of finance (MOF) of Malaysia has announced the Madani subsidy assistance programme, or Budi Madani for private owners of diesel vehicles and agriculture smallholders in Peninsular Malaysia.

UPDATE: The Budi Madani application website is now open.

Applications open tomorrow, May 28, 2024 for eligible individuals, who may apply for Budi Madani subsidies under Budi Individual and Budi Agri-Commodity categories. Successful applicants in both categories will receive a RM200 monthly sum in financial assistance as part of the targeted subsidy programme for diesel, the ministry stated.

Criteria for Budi Individual applicant eligibility are as follows:

  • Malaysian citizenship
  • Owner of a JPJ-registered diesel private vehicle, except luxury diesel vehicles less than 10 years of age
  • Vehicle has valid road tax
  • Annual income of RM100,000 and under (individuals and couples)

Criteria for Budi Agri-Commodity applicant eligibility are as follows:

  • Registered farmer or smallholder with relevant agencies under the ministry of agriculture and food security (KPKM) or the ministry of plantation and commodities (KPK)
  • Able to demonstrate annual turnover of between RM50,000 and RM300,000 from farming or commodity production

Applications can be made online at the Budi Madani website, which will be online throughout the year, according to the ministry of finance. Applicants who have had their applications approved before June 3, 2024 will receive their first Budi Madani payout by mid-June 2024, and subsequent payments will be made monthly.

For applications approved after June 3, 2024, successful applicants will receive their first payment within two weeks, and every month thereafter. The monthly sum will be transferred into the bank account of your choice, or in cash from any BSN branch for successful applicants without a bank account.

While it’s not explicitly written, the fact that payouts will start as early as June 2024 clearly means that the in-station pump prices for diesel fuel in Peninsular Malaysia will be floated to market prices very soon. As of today, unsubsidised diesel Euro 5 is priced at RM3.33 per litre, compared to the controlled price of RM2.15. That’s an increase of RM1.18 per litre, or 55%!

Using these numbers, the RM200 payout will make up the price difference for up to 169.5 litres of diesel fuel each month. For a diesel car doing around 10 km/L (diesel vehicles are mostly large and heavy), that works out to an average mileage of just 1,700 km per month, before the “subsidy” runs out. Any more, and you’ll be spending more on fuel than you do now.

This monthly cash transfer programme will likely extend to petrol users too, as and when the government decides to lift subsidies on RON 95 fuel. At the time of writing, non-subsidised RON 95 is priced at RM3.35 per litre – RM1.30 more than the current controlled price of RM2.05, or a 63% increase. Get ready, everyone!

      When PM Najib is back and running the country with a pure BN Gomen with full rakyat support, he will start by lowering the PH cekik darah taxation thru a lower 6% GST to replace 8+10% SST, then direct payments of cash to B40 via BRIM2.0, then inflation will be lower when our RM rises back to RM 2.5 per USD, with a stronger ringgit there will be less reasons for foreign cars to come take our subsidised petrol so there continue to have cheaper petrol for our rakyats, with a stable gomen back on track to high income more investments will flow and this brings more professional jobs for educated rakyats then they no more need to leave the country to work, this helps to bring more prosperity & happiness to all rakyat when everyone has jobs and money in their bank accounts.

      We can’t wait for the day to kick out useless PH Gomen & PMX into Klang River which they repolluted after Najib has cleaned it up! Rakyat was truly senang under PM Najib now we regret putting him down.

          You forget back then unemployment was lower and inflation was lower too, so an increase in OPR loan will not affect Rakyat coz everyone has jobs and could comfortably pay them off without asking for EPF money. Now under inept PH rule, OPR loan is still high but inflation is also high while more & more Rakyat are being jobless so without money how to pay these loans?

          When people have money nobody will care about 1MDB coz that is not a problem with its arsenal of power generation plants & TRX landbank. It was PH that doomed 1MDB not PM Najib. And it is PH now killing our beloved Malaysia and selling off to foreign owners. If we keep with PH, Malaysia will soon no longer belong to Rakyat Malaysia, we will be on par with Rohingyas adrift without a nation to call home. This is all thanks to PH voters.

      Price increase is RM1.18 per litre while you get RM200 subsidy a month. That means approximately 170 litre of diesel are subsidised a month. If both your hailak and Range Rover use less than that in total, then ya you basically get subsidy or partial subsidy. But i guess in this case government also find you quite pitiful to own 10acres of durian farm and only able to get 100k sales per year from it.
