Driving licences expired more than 36 months not eligible for Budi95 subsidised RON95 petrol – JPJ

Holders of Malaysian driving licences which have been expired more than 36 months will not be eligible for the Budi Madani RON 95 (Budi95) petrol subsidy programme, JPJ director-general Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli has said, reported Bernama.

Eligibility for the Budi95 subsidy depends on the individual’s licence status, and the JPJ D-G reminded all licence holders to renew their licences within the prescribed period. “An active driving licence is defined as a licence that has not expired for more than 36 months from its last renewal date. Within this period, holders remain eligible for the Budi95 subsidy,” Aedy Fadly said.

Licences which have expired for more than 36 months cannot be renewed automatically, and holders of these licences must re-take their driving competency test at an accredited driving institute, he said, adding that anyone driving a motor vehicle must ensure their driving licence remains valid and has not expired.

“JPJ remains committed to delivering services that are efficient, transparent, and integrity-driven, in line with the Malaysia Madani aspiration to safeguard the well-being of the people,” the director-general of the road transport department said.
