Home Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail said the initiative, available at all JPN offices and counters, is expected to cost the government approximately RM714,660.
“Recent data shows an average of 43,000 chip replacement applications per month. The government will fully bear the cost to ensure technical issues with MyKad do not hinder eligible citizens from accessing BUDI95 subsidies,” he said in a statement today.
Saifuddin urged Malaysians to keep their MyKad in good condition, noting that it serves not only as an identification document but also as a gateway to essential government services, including targeted subsidies.
“The MADANI Government upholds the principles of care and inclusivity, ensuring no eligible citizen is left out,” he said.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim had earlier announced that the price of RON95 petrol will be reduced to RM1.99 per litre from RM2.05, effective Sept 30, under the BUDI95 programme.
Anwar, who is also Finance Minister, said all Malaysians with valid driving licences are eligible for the subsidy. According to data from the Road Transport Department (JPJ) and JPN, more than 16 million citizens qualify.– BERNAMA
