Melaka: More than 3,000 police officers and personnel in Melaka have benefited from the BUDI95 initiative, says Melaka Police chief Datuk Dzulkhairi Mukhtar. He stated that the initiative had a positive impact on the security forces, who were among the earliest recipients of the RON95 petrol subsidy that began yesterday. Police personnel using private vehicles have started enjoying the benefit for their daily duties and family use, thereby easing their cost-of-living burden.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, the process of redeeming the subsidy at petrol stations is also simple and quick, requiring only the MyKad, and takes just one minute for each purchase, as explained by Datuk Dzulkhairi Mukhtar. He shared these insights with reporters at the BUDI95 Programme in Jasin Bestari, where he also led a motorcycle convoy in Jasin district with 50 personnel from the Jasin District Police Headquarters (IPD) through Batang Melaka, Selandar, and Simpang Bekoh before ending at the Melaka Police Contingent Headquarters (IPK).

Inspector Muhammad Hafiz Othman, 42, mentioned that the subsidy helped reduce petrol expenses for family use and expressed his gratitude for the government’s concern. Sergeant Abdul Jamil Nordin, 54, echoed similar sentiments, appreciating the initiative as a reflection of the government’s concern for the welfare of security forces and expressed gratitude for being able to enjoy the subsidy earlier.
