The Malaysian government is reviewing its targeted diesel subsidy system to improve implementation. Second Finance Minister Datuk Seri Amir Hamzah Azizan indicated that enhancements are expected within one to two months to simplify application processes and refine eligibility criteria.

Proposed changes include addressing vehicle ownership issues, managing owners with multiple vehicles, and allowing the transfer of diesel quotas to immediate family members. In Sabah, officials are working to increase application rates among eligible four-wheel drive and pickup truck owners by providing manual application support through various agencies and fuel companies.
