Media practitioners welcome return of 300-litre Budi95 monthly quota
KUALA LUMPUR: The Association of Malaysian Media Clubs (GKMM) has welcomed the government’s decision to restore the basic quota under the Budi Madani RON95 (Budi95) programme from 200 litres to 300 litres a month from Sept 1, describing it as a relief for media practitioners.
The Association of Malaysian Media Clubs (GKMM) has welcomed the Malaysian government's decision to restore the basic quota under the Budi Madani RON95 programme from 200 litres to 300 litres a month, effective September 1. The increase in quota is seen as a relief for media practitioners, particularly those working in states who previously faced difficulties and had to bear higher monthly expenses for RON95.
This expenditure is necessary to cover logistical costs of commuting to work, including travelling to work and covering various programmes and events daily. The reinstatement of the Budi95 quota, as previously requested by GKMM, will ensure that all media practitioners can continue to play their role in providing the best coverage and delivering information quickly to all citizens.
