PUTRAJAYA – Recipients of the Budi Madani RON95 (Budi95) fuel subsidy programme can breathe easy, as the monthly quota remains at 200 litres, the Finance Ministry has confirmed. A recent technical error caused some recipients to see a lower fuel limit displayed, sparking concerns about changes to the programme.

The Ministry swiftly addressed the issue, assuring participants that the error was a glitch and that the original 200-litre allocation continues to apply. This clarification comes as a relief to many who rely on the subsidy to offset the cost of fuel.

Budi Madani is a government initiative designed to provide financial assistance to eligible vehicle owners, helping to ease the burden of rising fuel prices. The programme targets specific groups identified as requiring support, and the 200-litre monthly quota is a key element of its design.

The Finance Ministry has not released further details about the nature of the technical error or the steps being taken to prevent similar incidents in the future. However, the prompt response and clear communication regarding the unchanged fuel quota demonstrate a commitment to ensuring the smooth operation of the Budi Madani programme and maintaining confidence among its recipients. The Ministry is expected to monitor the system closely to avoid further disruptions.
