News & Reviews:   blanket subsidy

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.

Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli in Parliament today revealed that the government is currently assessing the need for subsidy rationalisation for RON95. However, the focus and priority for now is on the implementation of targeted subsidies for diesel which started on 10 June.
