2 ways to claim BUDI MADANI RON95 on TNG eWallet

This article is also available in Bahasa Malaysia.

The Malaysian government is shifting from blanket fuel subsidies to a targeted RON95 benefit system called BUDI MADANI RON95. This new approach ensures that government support is specifically targeted for Malaysians. The government will continue to subsidise fuel prices for its citizens, and the savings from this more efficient system will be channelled back to the rakyat.

This guide will explain what BUDI95 is, why it's being implemented, and how to use it conveniently with TNG eWallet.

What is BUDI MADANI RON95?

BUDI MADANI RON95 is the new fuel benefit programme for RON95 petrol. This programme allows Malaysians with a valid driving license to enjoy subsidised RON95 fuel. The programme aims to:

ensure subsidies reach eligible Malaysians,
support long-term financial sustainability, and
prevent smuggling and leakages.

Here’s how to use BUDI95 on your TNG eWallet:

How to use BUDI95 on TNG eWallet

Step 1: Download and set up TNG eWallet

If you’re not yet a TNG eWallet user, download Touch ‘n Go eWallet from the App Store, Google Play, or Huawei AppGallery.

Sign up with your mobile number.
Create a secure 6-digit PIN.

Step 2: Verify your account

All TNG eWallet users are required to verify their accounts, and this step also enables you to access BUDI95.

Go to your profile in TNG eWallet and tap “Account Verification”
Under ID type, choose MyKad
Scan the front of your MyKad
Take a selfie
Submit your details.

Generally, account verification can be completed instantly. However, in some cases where additional information is required, it may take up to 7 working days.

Just ensure that the lighting is good when you are scanning your MyKad and taking a selfie during the verification process.

Once your account is verified, you can start using BUDI95.

Step 3: Access BUDI95 from your eWallet

To check your BUDI95 eligibility and allocation, tap the BUDI95 icon on your eWallet home screen. If you don’t see it, tap More, and key in “BUDI95” in the search bar to find it.

Step 4: Buy RON95 fuel

Stop your vehicle at the petrol pump.
Launch BUDI95 and tap “Buy Fuel”.
Select or confirm the petrol station that’s auto-detected. If you don’t see it, check that your phone’s location setting is on.

Present the QR code at the station counter for staff to scan and unlock the pump.

Note: Any unused fuel amount will be refunded to your eWallet within minutes if your tank fills up before you finish pumping.

How to use Petronas via Setel in TNG eWallet to get your fuel benefit

While this option is exclusive for Petronas stations only, this method allows you to skip the cashier counter entirely and access the petrol pump directly through TNG eWallet in the palm of your hand.

Step 1: Access Petronas via Setel

Open your TNG eWallet
Tap on “More”
Search for “Petronas via Setel” in the search bar
Tap the “Petronas via Setel” icon when it pops out
If you’re a new user, tap “Get Started”
If you’re an existing user, you can skip to the next step.

Step 3: Purchase RON95 fuel through Petronas via setel

Tap on the “Petronas via Setel” icon
Tap “Purchase fuel”. The app will auto-detect your location. If you don’t see it, check that your phone’s location setting is on.

Step 4: Confirm and pay

Select RON95 fuel type
Tap on “Proceed with BUDI95”
Pay directly with the app
The pump is now activated and you can begin refuelling

Is TNG eWallet the only way to use the BUDI MADANI RON95 allocation?

No. While TNG eWallet offers a convenient way to use your allocation, it is not the only option. You can also:

Present your MyKad at the petrol counter. Staff will confirm your eligibility and apply the benefit, after which you can pay using your preferred payment method, such as credit/debit card, including Touch 'n Go eWallet Visa Card, any accepted e-wallets, or cash.
Using your MyKad at the pump is another easy option. At select petrol stations, just insert your MyKad into the card reader at the pump. The system will instantly verify your eligibility and apply the subsidised price. After that, you can pay with your credit or debit card, including the Touch 'n Go eWallet Visa Card.

These options ensure that all Malaysians can enjoy the fuel benefit anyway they want. However, using TNG eWallet provides a faster and more seamless experience, as you don’t need to verify your eligibility manually each time you refuel.

BUDI MADANI RON95 is more convenient with TNG eWallet

The BUDI MADANI RON95 ensures government support is fairly distributed and secure. While it introduces a few extra steps, using TNG eWallet with BUDI95 makes the process straightforward and easy to transition to.

With TNG eWallet, you have two ways to claim your benefit, directly through BUDI95 in the app or via Petronas via setel. This flexibility means you don’t need multiple apps to manage your fuel benefit, making TNG eWallet the most convenient BUDI MADANI RON95 platform.

Over time, the process will become second nature, and initiatives like this can help pave the way for more targeted and inclusive subsidies in the future.
