PENAMPANG, Sept 21 — 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 said the people need not worry about difficulties when buying subsidised petrol, as they can access the subsidy easily and quickly through apps provided by oil companies, such as Petronas’ Setel and the Shell App, among others.
“They can also purchase subsidised fuel 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,” he told reporters here today.
Earlier, Armizan attended the one-day Sabah Students Convention here, which Sabah Chief Minister Datuk Seri Hajiji Noor officiated. Over 100 university students from across the state participated in the convention.
He stressed that the government has been preparing thoroughly since early this year to ensure the smooth implementation of the targeted subsidy scheme, which will be announced by the Finance Ministry soon.
“We will ensure the process runs smoothly and does not burden the public, and prevent concerns that people will have to wait in long queues,” Armizan added.
