SoyaCincauBUDI95: Are eWallets and mobile apps allowed at petrol stations? Are smartphones a safety risk? #apps #budi95 #caltexgo #cars #digitallife #ewallet #firerisk #mythbuster #myths #news #petrolstation #ron95 #ron95petrol #safety #setel #shellasia #tngewallet #transport
MikaThe new mechanism for disbursing RON95 fuel subsidy in Malaysia will be in place/active starting Sept 30. Here's what we know so far:
- Eligibility will be for all Malaysians (with active driver's license, and valid NRIC ofc), regardless of income bracket.
- There will be a quota of 300 litres of subsidised fuel per person every month (they say most people would realistically only need ~150-200L) - some special cases may earn more, such as e-hailing drivers.
- There will be NRIC readers at both counters and gas pumps (this better be true β
β) - I assume this means you could handle them yourself rather than need a staff to operate it for you.
- Most importantly, several popular apps will also integrate the feature to verify your eligibility (for subsidised fuel) so you could fuel up without needing to swipe/tap your NRIC manually beforehand. This list of #eKYC enabled apps atm includes #TnGeWallet, #Petronas 's #Setel, and (surprisingly) #Caltex 's #CaltexGO.
- When this launches, RON95's subsidised rate would be MYR 1.99 per litre, and MYR 2.60 per litre unsubsidised.
This change also means:
- Non-Malaysians can also now fuel up with RON95 at an unsubsidised rate, rather than being stuck with the more expensive RON97.
- Technically, Malaysians can now fuel up their foreign-registered car (i.e. Thai/Singaporean) at subsidised rates, while Non-Malaysians have to fuel up their car (Malaysian-registered or not) at unsubsidised rates.
