PUTRAJAYA – The Finance Ministry has moved to reassure users of the Budi95 fuel subsidy programme after a temporary system error led to confusion regarding fuel quotas. Initial reports indicated some users were experiencing discrepancies, prompting concern about potential changes to the existing 200-litre allocation.

A statement released by the ministry confirmed that the error, which occurred late on June 1, has since been rectified. The ministry underscored that the fuel quota for Budi95 remains at 200 litres per vehicle, as previously stipulated. The error appears to have affected a limited number of users, and investigations are underway to determine the precise cause and prevent recurrence.

Budi95 is a government subsidy programme designed to provide lower-priced fuel to eligible vehicles, primarily older models. The 200-litre monthly quota is intended to help alleviate the financial burden on vehicle owners while managing fuel consumption and preventing abuse of the subsidy. Eligibility for the Budi95 programme is determined by vehicle age and type, with strict criteria in place to ensure fairness and transparency.

The Finance Ministry’s swift response to address the system error and reaffirm the fuel quota demonstrates a commitment to maintaining the integrity of the Budi95 programme and ensuring that eligible vehicle owners continue to benefit from the subsidy. Further updates will be provided as investigations conclude and any necessary system improvements are implemented. Users experiencing ongoing issues are advised to contact the relevant authorities for assistance.
