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.
But instead of stopping at the hotel, the driver allegedly kept driving into a dark, deserted area before suddenly demanding RM836. The women said they were trapped, terrified, and one of them was choked and slapped several times. <span style="background-color: transparent; font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-alternates: normal; font-variant-position: normal; font-variant-emoji: normal; vertical-align: baseline; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Their calls to police didn’t go through, leaving them feeling helpless until hotel staff heard their screams and rushed to free them.

“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.

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

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.
