Budi95: MoF instructs petrol retailers to tighten MyKad verification SOPs to curb misuse

Amidst reports of MyKad misuse for the purpose of buying RM1.99-a-litre Budi95 petrol, the Malaysian finance ministry (MoF) has instructed petrol retailers to tighten MyKad verification standard operating procedures (SOP) for each Budi95 transaction.

“Any transaction carried out manually without prior physical verification of MyKad is not permitted as it opens the door to unauthorised transactions, subsidy abuse and breach of the integrity of the programme implementation.

“MoF has also directed petrol retail companies to conduct further investigations on transactions identified as violating the SOP, and take appropriate follow-up actions against the stations involved, as well as strengthen internal monitoring to ensure continued compliance at all petrol stations,” said the MoF in a statement today.

It added that corrective measures have been mandated, including front-line staff retraining, display of the SOP at counters, and appropriate disbursement and compensation to affected customers, subject to investigation outcomes.

The public are encouraged to check their transactions on https://www.budi95.gov.my and immediately file a police report if anything is amiss. Complaints can be filed within 30 days to the Budi Madani Contact Centre (call 1300-88-9595, Whatsapp +603-2631 4595 or email [email protected], 24/7) with a police report stating the date, time and details of the petrol station involved, a copy of the MyKad and a list of transactions submitted in the police report.

Recently, a petrol station attendant of foreign nationality was fined RM10,000 by the magistrate’s court following a guilty plea for the misuse of two MyKads for the purchase of Budi95 petrol.

        I so agree that this extra strict SOP help to stop bad ppl from abusing BUDI95 & MyKad. I oso grateful that I still can get RM1.99/L RON95 & don’t have to line up long queue to pump petrol.

      MyKad adalah dokumen penting utk pengesahan kewarganegaraan Malaysia. Engkau ni mesti ada motif utk mengancam kestabilan negara dgn mempersoalkan kepentingan MyKad.
