Unpaid summonses will not disqualify BUDI95 recipients - Loke
Earlier, several news reports claimed that individuals who failed to pay their summonses would lose their BUDI95 eligibility. - December 10, 2025

FAILURE to settle outstanding summonses does not affect eligibility for the BUDI MADANI RON95 petrol subsidy (BUDI95), said Transport Minister Anthony Loke.

He said outstanding summonses and eligibility for the BUDI95 subsidy are two separate mechanisms that operate independently and are not automatically linked.

“Under the current policy, applicants must meet the basic requirements to apply for or continue receiving the BUDI95 subsidy, namely being a Malaysian citizen verified through the MyKad and holding a valid driving licence

"A valid license refers to one that is still within its validity period or has expired for no more than three years," he said in a statement.

Loke also advised the public to continue complying with traffic laws to ensure the safety of all road users.

Earlier, several news reports claimed that individuals who failed to pay their summonses would lose their BUDI95 eligibility. - December 10, 2025
