PUTRAJAYA: The RM200 Budi Madani monthly cash assistance for eligible owners of diesel vehicles should be enough to offset the increase in diesel price, says Finance Minister II Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan.

“The RM200 is sufficient to cover 80% of diesel vehicle owners based on consumption pattern, according to data provided by the Statistics Department,” he said.
