KUALA LUMPUR, June 25 — The government has approved 100,000 applications for diesel cash subsidies under the Budi Madani initiative, benefiting individual diesel vehicle owners (Budi Individu) and small-scale farmers and smallholders (Budi Agri-Komoditi). Finance Minister II Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan announced that the initiative aims to provide targeted assistance, with monthly cash aid of RM200 to cover additional diesel expenses for over 80 percent of eligible recipients.
Amir Hamzah highlighted that the disbursement of the Budi Madani cash aid began in June, with 30,000 applicants receiving their aid on June 10 and another 46,000 today. He urged eligible Malaysians to promptly register for the June payment, as the government is committed to disbursing aid starting from the month the application is submitted. Eligible recipients can receive their RM200 monthly aid through their bank accounts or in cash at Bank Simpanan Nasional counters. For more information and to file appeals, individuals can visit the Budi Madani website.
