00:00The full rollout of the RON95 petrol subsidy under the Budi Madani RON95 or Budi95,
00:06which came into effect on Tuesday, has received positive response from Malaysians.
00:12About 16 million eligible citizens can now enjoy RON95 petrol at RM1 and RM0.99 per litre,
00:21compared with RM2 and RM0.05 previously, with each person entitled to up to 300 litres per month.
00:28For many, the implementation of Budi95 helps ease the burden of rising living costs.
00:33E-hailing rider Mohamed Arif Izzuddin Mohamed Mohsen said the subsidy has already made a noticeable difference.
00:40Self-employed worker Christopher Chin agreed, saying the program rightly rewards taxpayers.
01:00I feel it's good. It benefits the citizens rather than the foreigners.
01:10So, yeah, I mean, we are the taxpayer, so we should receive some benefits back.
01:19Housewife Wan Noor Rahil said the 300 litre quota was more than sufficient for her needs.
01:24For a cup, it's good. It's good, it's good, it's good, it's good, it's good.
01:30It doesn't want to say it's not too much, but it's good for the daily activities.
01:37Meanwhile, e-hailing driver Thi Min Chin argued that the quota is not enough for heavy users,
01:43noting he spends nearly 800 litres a month.
01:45For a month, I spend more than 800 litres a month.
01:51It's not enough for a month.
01:53For a month, I spend more than 50 litres for 24 to 25 litres a month.
02:02For 30 litres, I spend more than 500 litres a month.
02:05If I spend more than 500 litres a month, I spend more than 500 litres a month.
02:26Businessman Datuk Azman Yusof, however, urged improvements to ensure smoother access for all Malaysians.
02:32For all Malaysians should be able to receive a body of 95.
02:38I don't know if there is a license, but using IC, Malaysians should be able to receive a 5-dye.
02:44Why? I feel like I don't have to receive a license with a rakyat.
02:48My son doesn't have a license, but he has a license.
02:51He has a license.
02:53What is the difference?
02:54So, if I use a license to use, if I can't take it, it's not possible.
03:01That's the individual.
03:02It's the individual, right?
03:04So, I think it's better to standardize all the rakyat that we can get.
03:08Overall, most users welcomed the Budi 95 initiative as timely support in coping with higher living costs,
03:15though many also suggested additional allocations for those who rely heavily on petrol for their livelihoods.
