This is to allow the public to gradually adapt to the new RON95 subsidy mechanism, he said.
Anwar said that, similar to the Basic Rahmah Contribution (Sara), no registration is required for BUDI95. Malaysians only need to use their MyKad to enjoy the subsidised price.
MyKad reader machines will be installed at shops and petrol pumps to help reduce the risk of congestion.
In this regard, he reminded the public to ensure their MyKad chips are functioning properly and that they hold a valid driving licence.
"Only citizens with a valid driving licence are eligible to receive the subsidy. So, for those who have yet to renew their licence, please do so immediately.
"Just like Sara, this is an appreciation initiative. It does not matter what your income level or position is - we are extending the blessing and benefit of this RON95 subsidy to all Malaysians.
"Some may criticise that even the super-rich are entitled to it, but this is our way of recognising and appreciating Malaysian citizens," he said.
For those who are digitally literate, Anwar said there are alternative payment options such as Touch'n Go and oil company applications like Petronas' Setel, which eliminate the need to use MyKad for every transaction.
He said Malaysia is the only country in the world bold enough to reduce fuel prices for its people despite the current uncertain global economic situation.
"Currently, the price in Saudi Arabia is RM2.61 per litre, and that is one of the largest oil-producing countries in the world. In comparison, petrol prices are RM3.22 per litre in Indonesia, RM4.22 per litre in the Philippines, RM5.68 per litre in Thailand, and RM9.02 per litre in Singapore.
"Of course, Singapore is not an oil producer, but I want to emphasise that even among oil-producing nations, Malaysia remains among the lowest... the only one slightly lower than us is Brunei," he said.

BEIJING: The commemorative Victory Parade held by China to mark 80 years since the end of World War II serves as a timely reminder that a nation’s sovereignty must always be defended and safeguarded.
Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said this is even more crucial in today’s geopolitical landscape, where turmoil persists and the international system is increasingly undermined.
He cited the genocide in Gaza, where the Israeli regime continues its atrocities against Palestinians with impunity.
“For me, the celebration is a reminder that a nation must be free, independent and sovereign. A country’s independence must be respected.
“Our experience of embracing peace and resolution after World War II, and how China rose against violence and colonialism, should serve as a lesson for today’s society, especially in our region,” he told Malaysian media at the end of his working visit to Beijing and Tianjin this week.
Anwar was among the foreign leaders invited by Chinese President Xi Jinping to attend the parade at Tiananmen Square yesterday morning.
On his participation in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Plus Summit 2025 in the port city of Tianjin, Anwar said that although Malaysia is not a member of the SCO, he was invited by Xi, as the current Asean Chair, to attend as a special guest and share his views on global issues.
“So we took the opportunity to attend and share our views,” he said, Bernama reported.
Anwar said he also highlighted the United Nations’ failure to fulfil its mandate in resolving major crises, which has further eroded its global influence – a point acknowledged by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, who participated in the meeting.
The Prime Minister added that he had met several world leaders on the sidelines of the summit.
Among them was Myanmar’s acting President Min Aung Hlaing, with whom he discussed and followed up on the country’s peace process ahead of Foreign Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan’s visit later this month.
His meetings with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly, meanwhile, focused on the situation in Gaza amid Israel’s brutal aggression.
“I asked about the latest developments in Gaza. Many leaders who attended the summit also raised the issue of the ongoing atrocities in Gaza and the suffering of the Palestinian people there,” Anwar said.
He also met with his counterpart from Pakistan, Shehbaz Sharif, Cambodia’s Hun Manet and Nepal’s Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli to discuss boosting two-way trade and investment.
Anwar departed for home yesterday afternoon after attending the Victory Parade and a banquet hosted by the Chinese President.
China held a massive military parade in central Beijing on Wednesday to mark the 80th anniversary of its victory in World War II, pledging the country's commitment to peaceful development in a world still fraught with turbulence and uncertainties
