Umno president and Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has publicly questioned the government's shifting stance regarding the BUDI95 subsidised petrol quota. During his address at the Umno general assembly, Zahid highlighted that the monthly allocation was initially cut from 300 litres to 200 litres in April due to global market pressures. He suggested that the subsequent decision to restore the quota was motivated by political concerns as elections approached. Referring to the Prime Minister as 'guru', Zahid urged the administration to prioritize public sentiment rather than making policy adjustments driven by electoral fears. This critique marks a notable moment of friction within the ruling coalition regarding the management of fuel subsidies and economic policy implementation.
