Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim lauds the Communications Ministry’s clear explanation of BUDI95, calling it a model for government policy communication
PUTRAJAYA: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has praised the Communications Ministry’s effectiveness in communicating the implementation of BUDI MADANI RON95 (BUDI95), describing it as one of the best examples of government communication in explaining policies to the people.
Anwar, who is also Finance Minister, said the clear and effective explanation of the initiative had helped improve public understanding and reduce confusion over the implementation of BUDI95.
“I believe this ministry’s greatest success is in relation to BUDI95. When a clearer explanation is provided, it does not create many problems.
“Once again, I congratulate our colleagues, Fahmi (Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil), the KSU (Communications Ministry secretary-general Datuk Abdul Halim Hamzah) and the entire Communications Ministry workforce for their dedication in conveying information effectively to the people,” he said.
He said this while addressing the Communications Ministry’s monthly assembly here today.
Also present were Communications Minister Datuk Fahmi Fadzil, Deputy Communications Minister Datuk Teo Nie Ching and Chief Secretary to the Government Tan Sri Shamsul Azri Abu Bakar.
Anwar said that although there were still a small number of parties raising concerns over fuel price increases, the implementation of BUDI95 had demonstrated that effective communication could improve public acceptance of government policies.
BUDI95 is a MADANI Government initiative to channel RON95 petrol subsidies to Malaysians at a subsidised price of RM1.99 per litre.
