How to confirm you are eligible for RM1.99 rate

RM1.99/litre RON95 petrol will soon be available for all Malaysian citizens who have valid driving licences. In order to enjoy this low price, you will need to be verified using your MyKad each time you refuel. If there are no problems with your MyKad, then you should have no problems refuelling.

However, before you do it for the first time, it may also be useful to check that you are eligible for the low rate. You can do so easily by going to the Bud Madani website where there is a BudiMadani RON95 section that allows you to check by entering your MyKad number.

The website link is in the comments below.
