BALING: A man pleaded not guilty at the Magistrate's Court here on Wednesday (May 20) to 13 charges of using other people's identity card numbers to purchase Budi Madani RON95 (Budi95) petrol in this district.
Azman Aziz, 53, was accused of committing the offences at several petrol stations in Baling between January and March 2026. The charges were read before Magistrate Nurul Izzati Mohamad.
The prosecution did not offer bail due to the nature of the offences, which involve misuse of the Budi Madani subsidy system. The court set June 10 for mention and case management.
According to the charge sheets, Azman allegedly used MyKad numbers belonging to other individuals to purchase the subsidised fuel, which is intended for eligible low-income earners and small-scale farmers under the Budi Madani programme.
If convicted, he faces a fine of up to RM50,000 or imprisonment of up to five years, or both, under the Control of Supplies Act 1961.
