Ministry to monitor IC misuse after RON95 price adjustment
SETIA ALAM: The Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry will issue reminders to petrol stations to prevent the misuse of Malaysian identity cards for the upcoming RON95 fuel price adjustment. Deputy Minister Datuk Dr Fuziah Salleh said the ministry will intensify monitoring efforts to prevent leakages and misuse by foreign-registered vehicles using Malaysian ICs. "Previously, petrol stations were prohibited from selling RON95 to vehicles with foreign registration plates. "If local ICs are used (after the fuel price adjustment), we will remind petrol station operators to stay vigilant, and we may need to monitor closely to ensure these ICs are not misused repeatedly," she said at the closing ceremony of the TikTok Shop Summit today. Yesterday, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim announced several key initiatives as a gesture of appreciation from the government to the people. Among these initiatives are a one-off RM100 cash aid under the Sumbangan Asas Rahmah (Sara) programme, the postponement of toll rate hikes for 10 highways, and a lower subsidised RON95 petrol price at RM1.99 per litre. On June 16, Anwar said the government would proceed with the RON95 fuel subsidy rationalisation, as it is crucial for the country. Anwar, who is also the finance minister, said there was no issue of a RON95 price increase affecting the majority of Malaysians. On June 26, Finance Minister II Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan said the government would move ahead with its plan to implement targeted subsidies for RON95 petrol this year. However, the rollout would be done in phases to ensure the most effective and least disruptive mechanism is adopted.

MOF: No application needed for RM100 Sara aid, beware of scam messages
KUALA LUMPUR (July 24): The Ministry of Finance (MOF) has stated that no application is required for the 'Sumbangan Asas Rahmah' (Sara) assistance and emphasised that the circulating message about 'Sara for all' assistance is false. The MOF said the RM100 Sara assistance announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim yesterday will be automatically credited to the MyKad of all Malaysian citizens aged 18 and above. 'Be cautious and do not be easily deceived by such false messages on social media. If unsure, don't click – avoid becoming a victim of scams!' the ministry said on its Instagram page. The Sara assistance can be spent at selected stores from Aug 31 until Dec 31, 2025. Users are advised to follow the official MOF channels for more information regarding the assistance. – Bernama
