Its Minister Anthony Loke said the government will cover 70% of contributions through Perkeso, while MOT will sponsor the remaining 30%. The funding comes entirely from<a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/08/rm110-million-collected-from-special-plate-sales-since-2023-mot" target="_blank" style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> special number plate (NPI) bids</a>, not the annual Finance Ministry budget.

“This is why we decided to channel the NPI proceeds into something meaningful.

Please check and claim what you’re entitled to,” he said.

Perkeso reported that from January to early September, 829,771 self-employed workers contributed to LINDUNG Kendiri, including nearly 190,000 in passenger transport. Over RM21 million in benefits have been paid to 5,712 recipients during the same period.

MOT is using RM3.5m from special number plate sales to fund social security coverage for taxi, rental car, and school bus drivers nationwide.

The take-up for<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" style=""> the government’s new Subsidised Petrol Control System (SKPS)</a> has been slower than expected, with many transport operators citing a lack of awareness and difficulty using the online registration platform.
All-Malaysian Taxi Association (GTSM) president Kamarudin Mohd Hussain told Bernama that the process is simple in theory, but many older taxi drivers are unfamiliar with digital applications.“Most of the basic information is already available, but elderly drivers struggle to navigate the online steps. I registered myself but was marked ineligible because my car was still in the workshop"I will have to update the details once it is ready. Situations like this cause confusion and make some drivers wait before signing up,” he explained.

Since registration opened on September 15, <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/09/over-150-companies-registered-for-targeted-ron95-subsidy-scheme-kpdn" target="_blank" style="">only 1,790 companies representing 5,449 vehicles have registered, compared to an estimated 100,000 eligible vehicles nationwide.</a>
To encourage more participation, GTSM plans to hold roadshows in 12 to 14 states and produce video guides to help less tech-savvy drivers.&nbsp;“If more drivers register, more will benefit from lower operating costs,” Kamarudin told the daily news portal.Express Bus Operators Association secretary S. Sathies noted that the process can feel tedious because of the many documents required.

“Some documents have expired or gone missing. For some operators, it feels like too much work, especially for those not used to online systems. We help our members with the process, but non-members must first join the association,” he stated.
Charity groups are also just beginning to learn about SKPS. Mohamad Izzuddin Yakub from Team Rompin Charity Organisation, which runs five free ambulances and hearses, said their fuel bills can reach up to RM7,000 per vehicle monthly.&nbsp;“This subsidy will be a huge help. We will register immediately and inform other operators so that more can benefit,” he said.

Industry players have urged the government to simplify the process and ensure that the subsidy truly lowers transport costs and ultimately brings down the price of goods for the public.

Low awareness and digital hurdles are keeping many taxi and bus operators from signing up for the RON95 subsidy scheme.

Instead, multiple payment mechanisms will be made available to ensure a smoother experience for motorists with no long queues.Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali said eligibility will remain tied to the MyKad, but actual purchases of subsidised fuel can be made in several ways including <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.carz.com.my/2025/09/budi95-app-shows-how-revised-ron95-subsidy-will-work" target="_blank">apps such as Petronas’ Setel, indoor counters and outdoor payment terminals</a> at petrol stations.“The purchase process does not depend on just one method.
