Malaysia’s finance minister visits a Caltex station in Putrajaya on July 1, 2026, to review first-day operations of the nationwide targeted diesel subsidy programme.

The programme began nationwide on July 1, 2026. Finance Minister II Amir Hamzah Azizan visited the Caltex Presint 8 station in Putrajaya to observe fuelling operations and system performance. He was accompanied by Treasury Secretary General Johan Mahmood Merican and Caltex Malaysia country chairman Leong Jee Wong.

The session also included senior officials from the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living, including Secretary-General Mohd Sayuthi Bakar and enforcement director general Azman Adam.

During the visit, the minister reviewed on-ground processes, including the CaltexGO app, Outdoor Payment Terminal verification and payment systems, and the fuel subsidy flow. He also spoke with customers to obtain feedback on their experience.

Caltex Malaysia said all its stations, including Presint 8, were ready for the programme deployment from day one.

Under the programme, eligible Malaysian diesel vehicle owners can buy subsidised diesel at RM2.10 per litre via MyKad verification. The programme offers up to 200 litres monthly, shared with subsidised petrol under the existing scheme.

Caltex encouraged customers to use the CaltexGO app to check eligibility, monitor quota balances and purchase subsidised fuel. The app also allows users to earn and redeem Caltex Rewards points and supports transactions alongside mobile Outdoor Payment Terminal assistance at stations.
