The RM1.99 petrol subsidy makes driving in Malaysia more affordable. To enjoy it, you must have a valid Malaysian IC, a valid driving license, and use either your IC with a payment card OR Touch ‘n Go eWallet at participating petrol stations.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to both methods.

Who is Eligible for RM1.99 Petrol?

Two Ways to Pump RM1.99 Petrol

You can pump petrol at the subsidized price in two different ways:

Method 1: Normal Way (IC + Payment Card)

This is the traditional method, where you must physically scan your IC and then insert your debit/credit card to pay before fueling.

Step 1:  Insert Debit/Credit Card

•  insert your payment card (Visa/MasterCard/debit card).

• Select the amount of petrol you want to purchase.

Step 2:  Insert IC at Pump

• At the petrol station, insert your MyKad (IC) into the card reader slot on the pump.

• The system will check if you are eligible for the RM1.99 subsidy.

Step 3: Pump Your Petrol at Subsidized Rate

• Remove the nozzle, choose the fuel grade, and start pumping.

• The final amount will automatically reflect the RM1.99 subsidy rate.

Method 2: Using Touch ‘n Go eWallet (Digital & Faster)

With TNG eWallet, you don’t need to scan your IC or show your license at the pump because they’re already verified inside the app.

Step 1: Open TNG eWallet

• Launch the app before reaching the pump.

Step 2: Check Eligibility in the Touch n Go  App.

• Inside TNG eWallet, go to Petrol Subsidy Eligibility Check.

• If your IC and driving license are valid, you’ll see an approval tick.

Step 3: Scan QR Code at the Pump

• To begin, please ensure your phone's location services are enabled. This allows the app to detect which petrol station you are at. Once your station appears, scan the QR code at your pump using the TNG eWallet to proceed.

Step 4: Confirm RM1.99 Subsidy Price

• The app will display the subsidized price (RM1.99/litre) before you confirm payment.

Step 5: Pump Your Petrol

• Select fuel, insert the nozzle, and pump as usual.

• The subsidy is automatically applied to your payment.

Why TNG eWallet is Easier

• No need to insert IC every time – Your IC & license are already verified in the app.

• Faster process – Just scan QR and pump.

• Safer & digital – Transactions are recorded in your eWallet.

Common Problems & Solutions
