Under BUDI95, eligible Malaysian citizens pay RM1.99 per litre for RON95 within a monthly quota. Non-eligible buyers pay the unsubsidised market price, which changes weekly.
e.g. a commuter filling 60 litres of RON95 a week pays about RM119.40 a week at RM1.99 per litre, or roughly RM517 a month. A Grab driver filling 120 litres a week pays about RM238.80 a week, or roughly RM1,034 a month.
The exact monthly quota under BUDI95 varies by report. Check your personal quota and eligibility at MOF's official portal before planning your budget.
What to do, step by step4/6 What to do now if you suspect your vehicle was affected
- Keep every fuel-pump receipt, workshop invoice and service record from the period when you noticed engine problems. Note the pump location, date and time on each receipt.
- Get a written workshop inspection report that records the pump location, refuelling date and any fuel-batch information available. This is the document that supports any future claim.
- Check your BUDI95 eligibility and current monthly quota at MOF's official portal (mof.gov.my). Know your entitlement before you compare prices.
- File a complaint with the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) if you have evidence of fuel quality issues at a specific pump. Check kpdn.gov.my for the current complaint channel. Attach your receipts and workshop report.

Why it matters5/6 How BUDI95 sets the RON95 price you pay at the pump
BUDI95 (BUDI MADANI RON95) is the government's targeted subsidy mechanism. Eligible Malaysian citizens buy RON95 at the subsidised price of RM1.99 per litre within a monthly quota. Non-eligible buyers pay the unsubsidised market price, which changes weekly.
Because the state sets the price and the quota, the public has a direct right to ask whether the product at that price meets quality standards. That is the basis of the MP's question: the government is being asked to show the data behind the samples, not just reassure.
The same Dewan Rakyat sitting also covers solid-waste landfill management, enforcement against foreigners driving without valid licences, and gaps in maritime surveillance.

The government estimates up to RM1,600 more disposable income a year for about five million taxpayers. These are proposals until passed in the Finance Bill.
