According to The Star, Malaysians will soon be able to verify their eligibility for the Budi Madani RON95 (BUDI95) petrol subsidy online, starting 25 September 2025. The move is intended to streamline access and reduce friction ahead of the subsidy’s full rollout.

News of the BUDI95 program has been spreading rapidly, but many wondered how it would be used when at a petrol station. Today, Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismai made a hands-on visit to a petrol station to observe MyKad verification in action ahead of the rollout of the targeted RON95 subsidy, priced at RM1.99 per litre, set to begin on 30 September.

Malaysian Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has just announced the Budi Madani RON95 or BUDI95 program to subsidize RON95 petrol starting from 30 September 2025.
