Holders of Malaysian driving licences which have been expired more than 36 months will not be eligible for the Budi Madani RON 95 (Budi95) petrol subsidy programme, JPJ director-general Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli has said, reported Bernama.
Eligibility for the Budi95 subsidy depends on the individual’s licence status, and the JPJ D-G reminded all licence holders to renew their licences within the prescribed period. “An active driving licence is defined as a licence that has not expired for more than 36 months from its last renewal date. Within this period, holders remain eligible for the Budi95 subsidy,” Aedy Fadly said.
Licences which have expired for more than 36 months cannot be renewed automatically, and holders of these licences must re-take their driving competency test at an accredited driving institute, he said, adding that anyone driving a motor vehicle must ensure their driving licence remains valid and has not expired.
“JPJ remains committed to delivering services that are efficient, transparent, and integrity-driven, in line with the Malaysia Madani aspiration to safeguard the well-being of the people,” the director-general of the road transport department said.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.

why 36 months? whenever not renew just block straight away. why give face
those who under-declare or trying to fraud LHDN shouldn’t get Budi95 subsidy too. also those caught for rempit and outstanding summons more than RM1k shouldn’t enjoy subsidy too.
They should put these conditions to be entitled for BUDI 95:
1. Must register car / bike ownership similar to Budi Diesel.
2. Car road tax and insurance must be valid similar to Budi Diesel.
3. Driving license must be valid. No grace period.
On the subject of subsidy, why not open the 200 litre of subsidized fuel to both diesel or petrol based on the conditions mentioned above. This way, a person will think twice to sell his allocation and be fair to the other Malaysians that are using Diesel.
Currently and totally unfair to diesel users.
You seem to be lacking on how things actually work for a large portion of the population, especially regarding points 1 and 2:
1. Must register car / bike ownership similar to Budi Diesel.
2. Car road tax and insurance must be valid similar to Budi Diesel.
In reality, many people aged 18–30 do not legally own the vehicles they use as the vehicles often registered under their parents’ names. These age group are roughly 25-30% of Malaysia Population.
So this isn’t about irresponsible riders or a “rempit” perspective – it’s about the everyday reality for young adults. Policies like this risk excluding a significant group of legitimate users simply because ownership and usage don’t always match on paper.

@paultan can help to push for fairer subsidy for diesel users to be similar to the Budi95?

Just remove the subsidies and reduce our taxes.
Those not contributing shouldn’t be subsidised so much.
