Minister of Home Affairs Saifuddin Nasution has urged Malaysians to check and ensure that their MyKad is functioning ahead of the targeted RON95 fuel subsidy that’s expected to be implemented by the end of September.
As announced by Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim in July, the price of subsidised RON95 petrol will be reduced from RM2.05 per litre to RM1.99 per litre.
However, this reduced pricing is strictly for Malaysians only and it will require MyKad verification at the pump. The full details are expected to be revealed by end of September 2025.
Functioning MyKad required to enjoy RM1.99/litre price for RON95 petrol
Since the RM1.99 per litre pricing requires MyKad verification, Saifuddin has urged Malaysians for check if their MyKad is working. If the chip is faulty or having difficulty to read, you are urged to apply for a replacement at the nearest National Registration Department (Jabatan Pendaftaran Negara) office or counter nationwide as soon as possible.
The replacement MyKad can be issued on the same day (at selected locations) and the Minister has reminded everyone not to wait until the last minute.
He said to enjoy the RM1.99 per litre price, it is compulsory to use the MyKad to ensure that you’re an eligible Malaysian citizen. Without the MyKad, you won’t be able to enjoy the subsidised fuel prices.
He stressed that the MyKad replacement (if required) must be done immediately so that you can enjoy the subsidised RON95 pricing.
If the chip is faulty, he said Malaysians are still allowed to buy RON95 petrol, however, they will have to pay the unsubsidised price of RM2.50 per litre.
Alhamdulillah YAB Perdana Menteri bakal tunaikan janji kepada rakyat Malaysia, Insya-Allah hujung bulan ini harga petrol RON95 akan TURUN ke RM1.99 seliter melalui subsidi bersasar.

How to replace your MyKad?
The chip on the MyKad is used to verify your identity for various verification processes including banking, government services and even cash aid. One of the latest mass initiatives which require a MyKad is the SARA programme. All eligible Malaysian adults are given a one-off RM100 credit to buy essential goods at participating supermarkets and the MyKad is required at the checkout counter.
If your MyKad had issues at kiosks, banks and government counters, you are urged to apply for a replacement soonest. If it is over 10 years old, it is also time to request for a replacement.
You can apply for a replacement MyKad Online or visit one of 210 JPN counters nationwide which also include UTC, mobile MEKAR vans and busses. The replacement card costs RM10 and it can take as little as 30 minutes at state JPN headquarters, UTC branches and selected branches.
In other branches, it may take up to 5 working days in Peninsular Malaysia or up to 7 working days in East Malaysia.
