Malaysians will need to register themselves online at the Pangkalan Data Utama (PADU) website in order to find out if they qualify for the targeted fuel subsidy, according to an X (Twitter) post of an image of a poster at a finance ministry booth at the “One-year with the Madani government” (Setahun Bersama Kerajaan Malaysia Madani) event that was held last weekend.
According to the poster in one of the images, there will be offline methods for updating details in the PADU database, in addition to the online method via the PADU portal that is to be rolled out next month. For those in rural areas and those without internet access, registering and updating of details can be done at district offices, village community management councils (MPKK) and with local authorities.
Last month, economy minister Rafizi Ramli said that the targeted subsidy mechanism will be implemented after the PADU database is rolled out on January next year, which is now a few weeks away. There are three mechanisms likely to be used to implement the targeted subsidies for petrol and diesel next year.
The first will be based on individual net disposable income, which is the amount remaining after taxes. The second mechanism will be based on net disposable household income through social protection or assistance schemes. The third is a combination of household and individual income, which will be implemented through a subsidies card.
According to prime minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim at the beginning of November, the targeted subsidies programme will only involve Peninsular Malaysia, and not involve Sabah and Sarawak due the the extensive use of diesel in these states. The market price of diesel as of October 2023 was RM3.75 per litre, according to the prime minister.
