KUALA LUMPUR: The public has been urged to check their MyKad and ensure the chip is functioning well.
Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail (pic) said the targeted subsidy for RON95 petrol can only be enjoyed when the MyKad is used for identity verification during refuelling.
“If the chip is damaged or unreadable, do not worry. You may visit any National Registration Department (JPN) office or counter nationwide.
“God willing, the repair will be completed on the same day. It is easy and fast.
“Do not wait until the last minute. Carry out an early check so that you and your friends can benefit from this special petrol subsidy,” he said in a Facebook post yesterday.
He also said the price of RON95 petrol is expected to drop to RM1.99 per litre by the end of the month, following the implementation of the targeted subsidy.
“The Prime Minister will keep his promise to the people of Malaysia. Insya-Allah, the price of RON95 petrol will be reduced to RM1.99 per litre by the end of this month.
“Although it takes some time, he stands by his word. A man of his word, every promise made will be fulfilled for the benefit of the people of Malaysia,” he said.
He stressed that the government remained committed to assisting the people, safeguarding the welfare of all groups and developing the country’s economy with full integrity and responsibility.
Earlier, the media reported that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim had reiterated that RON95 petrol prices would be reduced to RM1.99 per litre by the end of the month, thereby fulfilling the government’s pledge to ease the people’s burden.
