KUALA LUMPUR: The government is studying the implementation of a diesel subsidy mechanism aligned with the Budi Madani system for RON95 petrol subsidies, says Datuk Fahmi Fadzil.
He said this was among the focus of the Cabinet at present, amid ongoing discussions surrounding targeted fuel subsidies.
“Right now, the government is examining issues related to diesel, including implementing diesel subsidies using a system similar to Budi95,” he said.
On whether the government is considering reducing the Budi95 quota, Fahmi said the matter was not discussed at the Cabinet meeting yesterday, reiterating that the current focus was on aligning diesel subsidy distribution with the Budi95 mechanism.
The quota for subsidised RON95 petrol under Budi95 was temporarily adjusted to 200 litres from 300 litres per month effective April 1, following the Middle East crisis.
