KUALA LUMPUR: The quality and quantity of RON95 petrol remain unchanged despite the subsidy targeting exercise under the Budi Madani RON95 (BUDI95) programme, says Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali. He said the initiative, which began on Sept 30, 2025, only involved changes to the subsidy delivery and control mechanisms, not the fuel itself. “There is no difference in the quality or quantity of RON95 sold in the market before and after the implementation of targeted subsidies that would disadvantage consumers,” he said in a written reply to Hassan Saad (PN–Baling) on Tuesday (March 3). He said enforcement officers had previously investigated viral claims alleging that consumers were short-changed on RON95 quantities at the pump. “Firm action can be taken against any petrol station operator found to have breached the laws in force,” he said.
