Malaysia's Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living has reported zero fuel measurement violations at Penang petrol stations operating under the Budi95 subsidy program. State director S. Jegan announced that daily rotational enforcement checks across all stations have uncovered no fraudulent practices or program rule breaches, with only three complaints logged since the October 30 launch involving technical glitches rather than operator misconduct.
The ministry maintains specialized monitoring teams conducting continuous inspections of fuel measurement equipment to prevent irregularities. With the Northeast Monsoon season beginning, Jegan warned that reduced supplies of fish and vegetables could trigger price increases but cautioned traders against exploiting seasonal conditions. The ministry will intensify surveillance at wet markets and wholesale outlets to protect consumers from excessive pricing during the weather pattern.
