Malaysia's public service union asked officials to examine petrol usage rules affecting government workers who drive personal cars for assignments. CUEPACS President Adnan Mat questioned whether fuel costs would rise after employees exceed monthly limits under the new subsidy program. The organization seeks clarity about implementation details for the BUDI MADANI RON95 initiative. Union leaders want updated mileage payments that reflect current expenses rather than 2008 rates.
Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim announced that citizens will pay RM1.99 per liter for RON95 gasoline starting September 30. CUEPACS welcomed the fuel price reduction but expressed concerns about civil servants' financial burden during business travel. The union condemned recent arrests involving two government employees accused of smuggling subsidized cooking oil. Officials detained eight suspects for allegedly diverting 11,050 kilograms of cooking oil during enforcement operations.
