The Malaysian government will refine its targeted fuel subsidy programme in Sabah and Sarawak by incorporating public feedback and stakeholder input. The BUDI Diesel scheme launched nationwide on July 1 provides eligible diesel vehicle owners monthly quotas at subsidised rates.
Malaysia's Finance Minister says the government will continuously refine the BUDI Diesel subsidy programme based on actual usage patterns and stakeholder feedback, with adjustments made to reflect real-world consumer behaviour rather than arbitrary cuts.

Malaysia has launched an expanded BUDI Diesel subsidy scheme benefiting 700,000 private vehicle owners nationwide at RM2.10 per litre, representing a significant expansion from the previous scheme that aided 180,000 recipients.
