PUTRAJAYA, Aug 30 — The monthly quota for petrol and diesel subsidies will be raised again, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim revealed today as he announced several goodies ahead of tomorrow’s Merdeka Day celebration.
Anwar suggested the move was initially intended to be unveiled as a Budget 2027 initiative, but he decided to announce it early as a means to provide “temporary relief”.
Currently the Budi95 programme sets the quota at 200 litres of subsidised RON95 a month. This will be raised back to 300 litres although Anwar did not state when it would take effect.
The reversion to the original threshold is among a list of goodies the prime minister announced on the eve of Merdeka Day celebration here, where he delivered an official message that predates the National Day parade.
