At USD67 a barrel and RM4.21 to the dollar, the subsidy is about 60 sen a litre. With Malaysians using 1.3 to 1.4 billion litres of RON95 monthly, the bill still comes to RM10–15 billion a year in 2025–26, only slightly below the RM20 billion spent in 2023–24 when oil averaged USD80.“The overall bill will not fall as much as anticipated. This is not a major fiscal consolidation,” he said, pointing out that consumption patterns are unlikely to change since every licence holder, regardless of income, receives the same quota.He also rejected the claim that the new approach is fairer. <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/08/anwar-luxury-assets-will-be-factored-in-for-ron95-subsidy" target="_blank">Wealthier households</a>, he noted, typically have more cars and more licensed drivers, allowing them to claim a greater share of subsidised fuel.&nbsp; <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/19551/16069274/conversions/rafizi-budi95-(9)-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="16069274" alt="rafizi-budi95-(9).jpg"> Without income-based targeting, the gap between the better-off and lower-income groups remains. Under the old untargeted system, Rafizi said, T20 families captured 75% more subsidy per ringgit than B40 households, a pattern that is unlikely to be reversed under the new model.The effects, he added, would mean rural motorists may enjoy small savings from the 6 sen price cut, but urban middle-class families who consume more than 300 litres a month could face higher bills eating into their household budgets.Rafizi also warned of practical and governance risks. Petrol purchases could become <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/09/ron95-subsidy-app-counters-and-terminals-payment-options-skps-up-take-low" target="_blank">slower if verification requires</a> counter transactions, unless <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/09/mykad-is-the-best-option-for-ron95-subsidy-no-new-card-required-mof" target="_blank">MyKad can eventually be used directly</a> at pumps as confirmed by KPDN.&nbsp; <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/19551/16069275/conversions/rafizi-budi95-(1)-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="16069275" alt="rafizi-budi95-(1).jpg"> He cautioned, too, that the system opens the door to leakages, as unused quotas could be resold or diverted to the black market, especially by groups such as <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/08/ron95-subsidy-sees-quota-system-with-higher-allowance-for-p-hailing-e-hailing" target="_blank">e-hailing drivers who have wider access to subsidised fuel</a>.While he acknowledged that subsidy reform is necessary to strengthen public finances and shield Malaysia from swings in global oil prices, Rafizi argued the chosen approach may fall short of its goals.&nbsp;The true impact, he said, will only be clear six to twelve months after implementation.<div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div>

Rafizi Ramli says Budi95 quota will keep subsidies at RM10–15 billion a year, but wealthier households enjoy biggest share.

The move follows Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim’s announcement of the Budi95 scheme, which reduces the price of RON95 petrol to RM1.99 per litre starting Sept 30.JPJ director-general Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli said the extended hours will differ by state. Counters in Kelantan, Terengganu and Kedah will open on Fridays and Saturdays, while in other states they will operate on Saturdays and Sundays. <img src="https://static-content-live.caricarz.com/media_library/post/19549/16068665/conversions/Budi95-JPJ-Licence--JPN-(1)-full_normal.jpg" style="width: 100%;" data-media-id="16068665" alt="Budi95-JPJ-Licence--JPN-(1).jpg"> He said the measure is intended to assist those unable to visit on weekdays, while also ensuring motorists remain compliant with licence regulations.Currently, there are 15.2 million active Competent Driving Licence (CDL) holders, but another <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/09/jpj-23-million-malaysians-have-expired-driving-licences" target="_blank">2.3 million have licences that have been inactive</a> for more than three years.

The two women had just landed at KLIA2 on September 15 when a man approached them and offered a RM60 ride to their hotel. Thinking it was a fair price, they got into the car, which also had the driver’s wife inside.

“These savings will go towards healthcare, education, and rebuilding key infrastructure, including schools and clinics damaged in the recent Sabah floods,” he said during a monthly assembly at the Prime Minister’s Department.The Prime Minister added that past savings from targeted diesel subsidies have already funded the Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (SARA) cash aid, which provided RM100 to eligible Malaysians.“This is a bold step for the long-term benefit of the nation. We want the people to feel real impact, not just cheaper fuel, but better schools, clinics, and roads,” Anwar said, urging Malaysians to support the initiative.
