KPDN akan gantung, batal lesen stesen minyak salah guna subsidi BUDI Madani

Yesterday, the Malaysian Ministry of Finance announced that a petroleum station in Sungai Buaya, Nibong Tebal will be suspended or cancel its supply control license (CSA) for selling subsidized petrol RON95 and diesel under the BUDI Madani program, following suspicious transactions. The Minister of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs, Armizan Mohd Ali, stated that this action can be taken under the Supply Control Act 1961 if the station is found to be in violation of licensing conditions, including manipulating transaction records and misusing government subsidies.

For now, the investigation is being conducted by the police, which also involves the Ministry of Finance. At KPDN, if found guilty, the possible actions include suspending or canceling the CSA license of the station owner under the Supply Management Act 1974 (PDA). To open a petroleum station, in addition to the PDA license, a CSA license is also required, a periodical supply control license, the Ministry stated during a special media briefing ahead of the Deepavali 2026 Maximum Price Scheme implementation.

Also present were Deputy Minister of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs, Fuziah Salleh. Armizan said the government will not compromise with any form of circumvention of BUDI Madani subsidies due to the program's large financial commitment to help the people.
