BUDI95 Expanded To Sarawak Boat Users, e-Hailing Fuel Cap Raised To 600 Litres - MoF

PUTRAJAYA, Oct 13 (Bernama) -- Eligibility for the BUDI MADANI targeted subsidy for RON95 petrol (BUDI95) has now been expanded to include registered boat users in Sarawak, while the monthly fuel allocation for full-time e-hailing drivers has been raised to 600 litres.

The Ministry of Finance (MoF) in a statement today said the move is part of ongoing enhancements to ensure that the benefits of BUDI95 can be more fully enjoyed by the people.

According to the MoF, the expansion to Sarawak covers over 1,400 registered private boat users, based on data from the Sarawak Rivers Board and other relevant state agencies.

“For the full-time e-hailing driver category, the MoF has conducted data cross-checks with the Land Public Transport Agency (APAD) involving more than 53,900 individuals, who will now be entitled to a 600-litre monthly fuel allocation,” the statement said.

In addition, over 11,400 new and renewed driving licence holders are now eligible to receive BUDI95 benefits, bringing the total number of Malaysians benefitting from the targeted subsidy to more than 16 million.

“The MADANI government remains committed to ensuring the programme is implemented smoothly, transparently, and directly to benefit the people. The MoF, together with relevant agencies, will continue to monitor its implementation and make continuous improvements,” the statement added.
