BUDI95 Boosts Morale of Security Forces

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 23 (Bernama) — Police and military personnel have welcomed the BUDI MADANI RON95 (BUDI95) targeted fuel subsidy, launching this Saturday, calling it a morale booster that enhances their dedication and integrity.

Royal Malaysia Police Officer ASP S. Vishvamalar said the move demonstrates the government’s care for its citizens, particularly the security personnel protecting the nation.

“This initiative motivates us in the public service to keep serving with dedication and integrity for the country’s development,” he told Bernama today.

Echoing Vishvamalar, Insp Nik Mohamad Afif Al-Aziz Mohamad Yusof said the initiative boosts morale among public servants, encouraging them to serve diligently, with integrity and a strong commitment to the people.

Lance Corporal Mike Miekenzie Justien Latep of the Malaysian Armed Forces said the reduction of RON95 petrol prices to RM1.99 per litre greatly helps with managing daily expenses.

“This helps us save more, allowing funds that would have gone to fuel to be used for other household expenses, easing the family’s financial burden,” he said.

Yesterday, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced that RON95 petrol prices will be reduced to RM1.99 per litre from RM2.05 under the BUDI95 targeted subsidy programme.

The BUDI95 system will become available in stages: beginning with 300,000 military and police personnel on Sept 27, then Sumbangan Tunai Rahmah (STR) recipients on Sept 28, and finally for 16 million Malaysians aged 16 and above with a MyKad and a valid driving licence on Sept 30.
