Malaysians with Singapore driving licences can apply to be considered for Budi95 subsidised fuel

Malaysians who hold Singapore driving licences will be able to apply for Malaysian licences again beginning on Oct 16, Transport Minister Anthony Loke said.

- 

He said the move is to facilitate the Finance Ministry’s evaluation and consideration process under the Budi95 targeted fuel subsidy scheme for eligible Malaysians working in Singapore.

“To assist the Finance Ministry in assessing applications from this group, the Transport Ministry, through the Road Transport Department (JPJ), has set up a dedicated portal for registrations.

“All applications received will be submitted to the Finance Ministry for review and further eligibility assessment,” the minister said during a press conference in Parliament on Oct 15.

Mr Loke said applications will be considered based on three criteria - the applicant must be a Malaysian citizen, the Singapore driving licence must be valid, and the applicant’s work permit status in Singapore will be taken into account.
