The government says it will introduce a covered quota for eligible persons when it rolls out its RON 95 -fuel subsidy rationalization plan. According to Minister of Finance II that Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan, this is to prevent those who are not eligible to take advantage of someone else subsidized fuel for them, The edge Reports.
He said that the Ministry of Finance completes the quota system as part of the implementation, which is currently in the last phases to be refined in terms of the criteria for suitability and the mechanism of delivery that will be used. “We will have a quota. We must have a quota. We don’t want anyone to pump fuel for other people,” he said in parliament.
“We have to set quotas to prevent abuse. The ministry carefully considered how the quotas should be allocated, so that ordinary citizens have sufficiently subsidized fuel, while managing risks of excessive use or fraud,” he said.
He added that there will be a distinction between ordinary users and those whose daily work is dependent on the use of fuel, such as P-Hailing Delivery Riders and Ride-Hailing driver programs. “Ordinary users will have a fixed quota, but for P-Hailing and e-hailing drivers the quota will be higher because this is their primary task. We will make that distinction,” he said.
Details of the intended RON 95 -subsidy implementation plan are expected to be unveiled at the end of September. It has previously stated that information from the Pangkalan Data Utama (PADU) socio-economic database will be used as a reference to identify eligible recipients, and the use of Mykad as an identification for the delivery mechanism is also called consistent.
