Only 34 Budi95 complaints thus far – KPDN deputy

The week-old Budi Madani RON 95 (Budi95) has seemingly been a relative success. Senator Datuk Dr Fuziah Salleh, also deputy domestic trade and cost of living (KPDN) minister, has been quoted by The Star as saying that the targeted petrol subsidy programme has been going “very smoothly” on the whole.

“We received 34 complaints since the implementation of Budi95. Checks by the ministry found that the main factor involving one to two complaints was due to a system glitch. Nevertheless, the petrol stations concerned repaid the difference to the affected customers,” she said today in the Dewan Rakyat in response to a question from Tampin MP Datuk Mohd Isam Mohd Isa.

Other complaints were to do with the outdoor pump kiosk going offline. She said those systems were under respective petrol stations’ control and that transactions could still be carried out indoors using readers.

Fuziah revealed recently that from October 9 (tomorrow), businesses and individuals who bought RON 95 petrol at the unsubsidised RM2.60 a litre due to a technical glitch can apply on mysubsidi.kpdn.gov.my for the difference to be refunded. You’ll need your receipts as proof of purchase.
