The government says the implementation of the Budi Madani RON 95 (Budi95) targeted rationalization of gasoline subsidies has gone smoothly, with operational systems stable since the launch of the program in late September. The star reports.
As a result, there have been no issues with users having to wait for long periods of time or queue to refuel at petrol stations, said Deputy Finance Minister Lim Hui Ying. In her speech at the Dewan Rakyat, she said this was because Budi95 is backed by server processing capacity far greater than that of the Sara Appreciation initiative.
“The Sara system only processes 3,000 transactions per minute, while the Budi95 servers can process more than 10 times that, more than 30,000 transactions per minute,” she said.
“As of November 17, a total of 13.6 million Malaysians have completed more than 143.5 million fuel transactions under the Budi95 program. Transaction rates peaked at 41,200 transactions per minute, while the average rate is around 15,000 transactions per minute,” she added.
Lim was responding 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 gas stations and whether it had led to long queues, as had happened during the verification for the Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (Sara) aid on August 31.
On the challenges faced by people in rural areas with limited access to subsidized fuel, Lim said the government is committed to continuous improvements to ensure Budi95’s reach becomes more inclusive and effective. “One of the measures taken is the use of MyKad Terminals, which not only can be connected to WiFi networks, but also support SIM cards to ensure a more stable internet connection,” 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.
