PETALING JAYA:
Malaysians whose driving licences have expired for more than three years will not qualify for subsidised RON95 petrol under the BUDI95 programme, says road transport department (JPJ) director-general Aedy Fadly Ramli.

Bernama reported that he reminded all drivers to renew their licences within the prescribed period to remain eligible.

Aedy also said those with licences that expired more than three years ago could not renew them automatically and must retake the driving competency test at an accredited driving institute.

Earlier today, Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced that the 300-litre monthly quota for subsidised RON95 petrol would be reduced to 200 litres as an interim measure to address the impact of the Middle East conflict.

The new quota for the subsidised fuel, priced at RM1.99 per litre, is expected to take effect next month.
