Budi95 programme has been running smoothly, all operational systems stable since launch – MoF

The government says that the implementation of the Budi Madani RON 95 (Budi95) targeted petrol subsidy rationalisation has gone smoothly, with operational systems stable since the programme was launched at the end of September, as The Star reports.

As a result, there have been no issues of users having to wait or queue for long periods to refuel at petrol stations, said deputy finance minister Lim Hui Ying Speaking in the Dewan Rakyat, she said this was because Budi95 is supported by a server handling capacity far greater than that of the Sara Appreciation initiative.

“The Sara system processes only 3,000 transactions per minute, whereas the Budi95 servers are capable of processing over 10 times more, exceeding 30,000 transactions per minute,” she said.

“As of November 17, a total of 13.6 million Malaysians have carried out more than 143.5 million refuelling transactions under the Budi95 programme. Transaction rates peaked at 41,200 transactions per minute, while the average rate stands at around 15,000 transactions per minute,” she added.

Lim was replying to a question from Suhaizan Kaiat (PH-Pulai), who asked about the use of MyKad as a mechanism to verify the targeted subsidy for RON 95 at petrol stations and whether it had resulted in long queues, as had happened with verification for the Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (Sara) aid on August 31.

On the challenges faced by those in rural areas with limited access to subsidised fuel, Lim said the government is committed to continuous improvements to ensure reach of Budi95 is more inclusive and effective. “Among the measures taken is the use of MyKad Terminals, which can not only be connected to WiFi networks, but also support SIM cards to ensure more stable Internet connectivity,” she said.

She added that the ministry will continue to work closely with the Malaysian communications and multimedia commission (MCMC) to strengthen network coverage, especially in rural areas that still face limited network access.

    Petrol for foreigners now at RM 2.65 is thanks to which govt and which PM? RM2.65/L RON95 only for foreigners driving Malaysian registered motor vehicles & Malaysians with no valid driving licence.

    Mere 66sen just to trade off your own personal details which Pakatan will use to autovote themselves even if you selected the other parties. They need to STEP DOWN NOW!

    If you are really rakyat Malaysia, you should already know that JPN has been keeping the personal details of every Malaysian since Merdeka.
