Kerajaan Hampir Muktamadkan Pelaksanaan Subsidi RON95 yang Disasarkan

Kerajaan kini berada di peringkat akhir perbincangan untuk melaksanakan subsidi bahan api RON95 yang disasarkan, dengan keputusan dijangka diumumkan Kabinet dalam beberapa minggu akan datang, kata Menteri Ekonomi, Rafizi Ramli, di Forum Ekonomi Malaysia hari ini.

Rafizi menjelaskan bahawa pendekatan baharu ini bertujuan memastikan subsidi hanya diberikan kepada isi rumah yang benar-benar layak, menandakan peralihan penting dalam pengagihan bantuan kewangan kerajaan.

Dalam cadangan baharu ini, kerajaan akan meninggalkan klasifikasi pendapatan tradisional seperti B40, M40, dan T20. Sebaliknya, subsidi akan diberikan berdasarkan pendapatan boleh guna bersih isi rumah, yang dianggap lebih mencerminkan keadaan kewangan sebenar rakyat.

“Kami sedang melalui proses dalaman untuk memuktamadkan pelan ini. Dalam beberapa minggu lagi, kerajaan akan membuat keputusan muktamad terhadap cadangan kementerian ekonomi,” kata Rafizi.

Setelah rancangan itu diluluskan Kabinet, proses untuk mengenal pasti penerima subsidi akan bermula. Menurut Rafizi, komunikasi yang jelas dan menyeluruh adalah penting untuk memastikan rakyat memahami perubahan ini.

Government Nears Decision on Targeted RON95 Subsidy

Petrol pump

The government is in the final stages of deliberating on the implementation of targeted RON95 fuel subsidies, with a decision expected from the Cabinet in the coming weeks, Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli announced today.

Speaking at the Malaysian Economic Forum, Rafizi revealed that the plan aims to ensure subsidies are allocated to deserving households, marking a shift in how financial assistance is distributed.

New Subsidy Framework Based on Net Disposable Income

The economy ministry has proposed moving away from the traditional income classifications of B40, M40, and T20. Instead, the targeted subsidy system will rely on households’ net disposable income to determine eligibility.

“We are going through the internal processes to finalize this. In a few weeks, the government will finalize the proposal made by the economy ministry,” Rafizi said.

Sasaran Subsidi RON95: Pakar Ekonomi Mengutamakan Kuota MyKad Berbanding Bantuan Tunai

Petrol station

Pakar ekonomi menyokong cadangan untuk sistem penyasaran subsidi petrol RON95 Malaysia, mencadangkan ia boleh dilaksanakan secara berkesan melalui sistem kuota bulanan berasaskan MyKad. Menurut laporan FMT, Ahmed Razman Abdul Latiff dari Putra Business School menyatakan bahawa sistem ini lebih praktikal berbanding subsidi tunai langsung kerana ia dapat mengawal penyalahgunaan dan mengelakkan kenaikan harga barangan lain.

Dengan kuota bulanan MyKad, pengguna dapat membeli RON95 bersubsidi hingga had tertentu, dan jika melebihi, akan dikenakan kadar pasaran penuh. Ini bukan sahaja mengawal penyalahgunaan tetapi juga memastikan subsidi disalurkan kepada mereka yang layak.

Ahmed juga menekankan bahawa MyKad merupakan platform yang boleh dipercayai berkat ciri keselamatan yang mampu mengesahkan identiti pengguna. Beliau mencadangkan integrasi pengesahan biometrik di stesen minyak sebagai langkah tambahan untuk mengurangkan keperluan sistem baharu. Beliau juga menyatakan kebimbangan bahawa subsidi tunai mungkin mendorong kenaikan harga makanan kerana peningkatan kuasa beli pengguna yang boleh dieksploitasi oleh peniaga.

RON95 Fuel Subsidy Targeting: Economists Favor MyKad Quota Over Cash Assistance

Petrol station

Economists are backing a proposal for Malaysia’s RON95 petrol subsidy targeting system, suggesting it could be implemented effectively through a MyKad-based monthly quota system. According to FMT, economist Ahmed Razman Abdul Latiff from Putra Business School noted that this approach, compared to direct cash subsidies, would limit abuse and prevent inflated prices for other goods. He explained that by setting a monthly MyKad quota, users would receive subsidised RON95 fuel up to a certain amount, after which they’d pay the full market rate, thus minimising the misuse of subsidies.

The MyKad system, he said, is reliable due to its security features and can authenticate the user’s identity, with options for biometric verification at petrol stations, reducing the need for a new subsidy system. Ahmed added that cash-based subsidies risk raising food prices, as traders may take advantage of increased consumer spending power.

Rafizi: Sistem Harga Dua Peringkat untuk Subsidi RON95 Dalam Perbincangan

Menteri Ekonomi Malaysia, Rafizi Ramli, mengumumkan bahawa kerajaan sedang mempertimbangkan pelaksanaan sistem harga dua peringkat untuk subsidi petrol RON95, sebagai sebahagian daripada usaha untuk memperkenalkan subsidi bersasar. Walaupun mekanisme khusus masih dalam perbincangan, kerajaan sedang bekerjasama dengan pelbagai pihak berkepentingan, termasuk Persatuan Peniaga Petrol, bagi mencari kaedah terbaik untuk memastikan pelaksanaan yang adil dan efektif.

Rafizi menjelaskan bahawa terdapat cadangan sebelum ini yang mencadangkan pemberian bayaran tunai kepada keluarga yang layak, yang tidak melibatkan stesen minyak atau harga berperingkat. Namun, perbincangan semasa kini tertumpu kepada cara untuk mengubah hala penjimatan subsidi, dengan tumpuan sama ada untuk terus memberikan pembayaran tunai atau mengekalkan subsidi langsung yang memanfaatkan kira-kira 85% daripada penduduk Malaysia.

Rafizi: Two-Tier Pricing System for RON95 Subsidies Under Discussion

Petrol station

Malaysia’s Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli has announced that the government is considering implementing a two-tiered pricing system for RON95 petrol subsidies. However, the exact mechanism is still under discussion, with input from various stakeholders, including the Petrol Dealers Association.

Rafizi explained that earlier proposals involved providing cash payments to families, which would not have involved petrol stations or a tiered pricing system. The current deliberations focus on determining how best to redirect subsidy savings, whether through cash payments or direct subsidies to benefit the 85% of the population who are expected to continue receiving subsidies.

RON95 Targeted Subsidy Mechanism to Use Padu Data

Petrol station

The Economy Ministry has announced that the RON95 targeted subsidy mechanism will fully utilise data from the Central Database Hub (Padu), basing eligibility on net household disposable income.

Padu System Overview

Padu serves as the central data repository for Malaysian citizens and permanent residents, consolidating information for individuals and households. As of March 31, 2024, 10.55 million individuals have updated their personal information within the system. The Padu system is currently in its second phase, which involves data analysis to determine household details, reasonable expenditure, and net disposable income.

Data Analysis and Implementation

The second phase of Padu’s development focuses on analysing collected data to accurately identify household details and assess their financial status. This analysis will help determine who qualifies for the RON95 subsidy based on their net disposable income.

Rafizi Reaffirms Fuel Subsidy Reduction Plans

In an interview with Bloomberg on Tuesday, Economy Minister Rafizi Ramli reaffirmed the government’s decision to cut fuel subsidies this year as part of efforts to reduce the national fiscal deficit.

As reported by The Star, Rafizi emphasised the necessity of implementing the subsidy cuts to “manage the sequence” effectively, particularly in light of looming inflation risks. The move aligns with the government’s targeted RON95 subsidy programme planned for the second half of 2024, aimed at optimising resources for those most in need.

Highlighting concerns over the distribution of blanket fuel subsidies, Rafizi noted that the top 20 (T20) income group currently receives 53% of these subsidies. He stressed that such blanket subsidies, particularly on RON95 fuel, have accounted for a significant portion of the total RM81 billion in subsidies disbursed in 2023.

The government aims to narrow the budget deficit to 4.3% of gross domestic product (GDP) this year, compared to 5% in 2023. Rafizi emphasised the importance of adhering to a certain timeline to achieve this fiscal target.
