Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced enhanced fuel assistance quotas effective immediately, raising RON95 petrol allowances by 50% and diesel quotas by a third under the targeted BUDI MADANI subsidy programme.
Over half a million owners of private diesel vehicles such as pickups and SUVs must register through the BUDI MADANI portal to claim an additional 100 litres of subsidised diesel monthly, increasing their allowance to 400 litres from September 1.
Malaysia's BUDI MADANI Diesel targeted subsidy programme is successfully limiting fuel smuggling by imposing purchase quotas and raising costs for criminal syndicates exploiting price gaps with neighbouring countries.
