Sabah diesel aid covers 52,133 pickup, SUV owners under Budi Diesel scheme

The Ministry of Finance approved 52,133 Sabah diesel vehicle owners for an additional 100 litres of diesel under the Budi Diesel programme as of October 12, 2026.

The Budi Diesel programme also approved 19,008 eligibility transfer applications, with 5,555 from Sabah, and started its phased nationwide expansion on July 1, 2026.

The government aims to ensure fair distribution of diesel subsidies, refining the process based on data and feedback to prevent leakage or abuse.

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 14 — A total of 52,133 owners of diesel vehicles such as pickups and sport utility vehicles (SUVs) in Sabah have been approved for an additional 100 litres of diesel under the Budi Madani Diesel (Budi Diesel) programme as of October 12, 2026, said the Ministry of Finance (MoF).

The ministry said the additional eligibility criteria take into account the higher diesel consumption needs, particularly among rural residents, small traders, farmers and those who use diesel vehicles to generate income.

In addition, a total of 19,008 Budi Diesel eligibility transfer applications have been approved, with 5,555 of them involving applicants from Sabah.

MoF noted that the government implemented the diesel subsidy targeting reform through Budi Diesel in phases beginning June 27, 2026, before expanding its implementation nationwide on July 1, 2026.

The ministry said this in response to a question from Vivian Wong Shir Yee (Sandakan-PH) regarding the diesel subsidy mechanism in Sabah in a written answer published on the Parliament’s website yesterday.

For users other than individual vehicle owners, MoF said the government also considers the needs of certain groups that rely on diesel for daily use, including boat operators as well as users of electric generators (gensets) and water pumps in rural areas.

It pointed out that these groups could be considered for Budi Diesel assistance through the MyKad mechanism, subject to eligibility requirements and verification by the state government and relevant agencies, such as district offices, resident offices or designated state agencies.

The measure aims to ensure that groups that truly rely on diesel to meet their daily needs do not miss out on receiving assistance.

“The government will continue to monitor the implementation of BUDI Diesel based on usage data, user feedback, input from the state government and the needs of the sectors involved.

“Any improvements will be refined through data so that diesel subsidies can be channelled more easily, fairly, in a more targeted and sustainable manner to users who truly qualify, without opening up opportunities for leakage or abuse of subsidies,” MoF added. — Bernama

截至 2026 年 10 月 12 日，财政部批准沙巴州 52,133 名柴油车车主根据 Budi Diesel 计划额外获得 100 升柴油。

Budi Diesel 计划还批准了 19,008 份资格转移申请，其中 5,555 份来自沙巴州，并于 2026 年 7 月 1 日开始分阶段在全国范围内推广。

政府旨在确保柴油补贴的公平分配，并根据数据和反馈不断完善分配流程，以防止补贴流失或滥用。

吉隆坡，10 月 14 日讯——财政部表示，截至 2026 年 10 月 12 日，沙巴州共有 52,133 名柴油车车主（如皮卡和运动型多用途车 (SUV)）获准根据 Budi Madani Diesel (Budi Diesel) 计划额外获得 100 升柴油。

该部表示，新增的资格标准考虑到了较高的柴油消耗需求，特别是农村居民、小商贩、农民以及那些使用柴油车创收的人群。

此外，共有 19,008 份 Budi Diesel 资格转移申请获得批准，其中 5,555 份涉及来自沙巴的申请人。

财政部指出，政府从2026年6月27日起分阶段实施“布迪柴油”柴油补贴改革，并于2026年7月1日起在全国范围内推广实施。

该部门在昨天国会网站上发表的书面答复中，对黄诗仪（山打根-希望联盟）关于沙巴柴油补贴机制的问题作出了上述回应。

财政部表示，对于除个人车主以外的用户，政府还会考虑一些依赖柴油进行日常使用的群体的需求，包括船只经营者以及农村地区使用发电机组和水泵的用户。

它指出，这些群体可以通过 MyKad 机制获得 Budi Diesel 援助，但需符合资格要求，并经州政府和相关机构（如区办事处、居民办事处或指定州机构）核实。

该措施旨在确保真正依赖柴油满足日常需求的群体不会错过获得援助的机会。

“政府将继续根据使用数据、用户反馈、州政府的意见以及相关行业的需求来监测BUDI柴油的实施情况。

财政部补充道：“任何改进措施都将通过数据进行完善，以便更便捷、更公平、更有针对性、更可持续地将柴油补贴发放给真正符合条件的用户，同时避免补贴流失或滥用。”——马新社
