Kuala Lumpur's trusted voice for news, politics and business.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has restored fuel subsidy quotas under the BUDI MADANI programme, increasing RON95 petrol allocation to 300 litres and diesel to 400 litres, effective immediately. The move has drawn widespread approval across society.
Malaysia's Ministry of Finance is urging owners of pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles to apply for an additional 100 litres of subsidised diesel monthly through the BUDI MADANI portal, raising their entitlement to 400 litres from September 1.
Malaysia's BUDI MADANI Diesel programme is effectively combating fuel subsidy abuse by limiting purchases and raising syndicate operating costs, with authorities reporting significant enforcement successes and plans for deeper network dismantling.
