The finance ministry has said that as of 4pm yesterday, over 10 million out of 16 million eligible Malaysians (62.5%) have bought 365.7 million litres of RON 95 petrol at the subsidised RM1.99 a litre (RM727.7 million total) since Budi Madani RON 95 (Budi95) began on September 27 for police and military personnel, Bernama reports.
“The implementation of the targeted RON 95 petrol subsidy under the Budi95 initiative has garnered a highly encouraging response from the people since its launch on September 27, 2025,” the finance ministry said in a statement yesterday, adding that transactions peak on weekends at over three million transactions a day.
“This demonstrates that Malaysians are ready to embrace a targeted subsidy approach that is transparent, efficient and provides tangible benefits. It also proves the effectiveness of the MyKad digital verification system at petrol stations, which has been running smoothly and reliably,” the ministry said.
Senator Datuk Dr Fuziah Salleh, also deputy domestic trade and cost of living (KPDN) minister, revealed yesterday that only 34 Budi95-related complaints have been received so far, mostly due to minor technical glitches.
