Kota kinabalu: The RON95 targeted subsidy scheme will use multiple payment mechanisms and will not depend solely on the physical MyKad, said Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali. He assured the public that they need not worry about facing difficulties when buying subsidised petrol, as various methods will be available to access the subsidy.

According to BERNAMA News Agency, Armizan mentioned that the public can access the subsidy more easily and quickly through apps provided by oil companies, such as Petronas’ Setel and Shell’s Shell App, among other methods. Additionally, subsidised fuel can also be purchased using indoor or outdoor payment terminals at petrol stations. While eligibility will be tied to the MyKad, the actual purchase does not depend on just one payment method.

Earlier, Armizan attended the one-day Sabah Students Convention, which Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor officiated. Over 100 university students from across the state participated in the convention. Armizan emphasized that the government has been preparing thoroughly since early this year to ensure the smooth implementation of the targeted fuel subsidy scheme, which will be announced by the Ministry of Finance soon.

He added that the government will ensure the process runs smoothly and does not burden the public, aiming to avoid any concerns about long queues.
