The Malaysian government will provide an additional allocation of subsidized RON95 fuel for full-time e-hailing drivers, starting October 15, under the Budi Madani (Budi95) program. This initiative is a positive measure to support gig economy workers, particularly those in the e-hailing sector, who are sensitive to fuel price fluctuations. The increased subsidy aims to ease financial burdens and potentially improve driver retention and service quality. This is a welcome development for e-hailing drivers and could indirectly benefit platform operators by ensuring a stable driver pool.
