Malaysia to adjust diesel subsidy quotas from September, PM says

Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has confirmed that the Budi95 diesel subsidy quota will return to 300 litres per month from September 1, addressing concerns about fuel allocation policies. The announcement also indicated that BudiDiesel quota will be maintained at 400 litres monthly under the revised scheme. The government has sought to reassure the M40 middle-income category that the policy adjustments will not negatively impact their access to subsidised fuel. The changes represent a recalibration of Malaysia's fuel subsidy programme, which has been closely monitored given its fiscal implications and impact on different income groups. Anwar's statement comes as the government continues to balance fuel cost pressures with support for lower and middle-income households in the nation.
