Back in October 2024, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced the move from a blanket subsidy for RON95 to a targeted one, touted for implementation in mid-2025. However, the move, which may use MyKad as part of its mechanism, has now been delayed.

Communications Minister Fahmi Fadzil has revealed that the Government currently has no immediate plans to develop a specific app as a step to enhance digital security and online safety. This is because there are already a number of apps readily available that can be utilised by Malaysians for that purpose such as Truecaller.

De facto Law Minister Datuk Seri Azalina Othman Said has announced that the Federal Government is planning to introduce a kill switch against fraudulent activities on any online domains or platforms automatically. Speaking in the Dewan Rakyat today, Azalina said that steps are being taken to create a legal system capable of doing so.
