BUDI95 Subsidy Rollout In Pahang Runs Smoothly 

KUANTAN, Sept 30 (Bernama) -- The implementation of the BUDI MADANI RON95 (BUDI95) initiative at 275 petrol stations of various brands across Pahang has been running smoothly as of 1.30 pm today.  

Pahang Consumer Affairs and Human Resources Committee chairman Sim Chon Siang said most users encountered were satisfied with the government’s positive step.  

“There were only minor complaints involving the use of identity cards for purchases, but this can be resolved once users become accustomed to the method.  

“I also want to remind them not to view the use of the identity card as a problem, because it is a privilege as Malaysian citizens,” he told reporters after visiting eight petrol stations around the city.  

To ensure users can fully benefit from the initiative, Sim said petrol station operators must ensure their staff are always ready at the refuelling areas to assist customers.  

Meanwhile, private sector worker Chan Boon Ho, 39, when met by reporters, said he chose to utilise the initiative by making purchases via e-wallet.  

He said with this method, there was no need to present an identity card and purchases could be carried out quickly and smoothly.  

BUDI95 was introduced in stages beginning Sept 27, with 300,000 personnel of the Malaysian Armed Forces and the Royal Malaysia Police being the first to enjoy the initiative, followed by more than five million recipients of the Rahmah Cash Contribution (STR) in the B40 category on Sept 28.  

A total of 16 million eligible Malaysians are enjoying the benefits of the BUDI95 initiative starting today.
