The “Pak Cik Shell” persona of Shell Malaysia’s managing director Shairan Huzani Husain has posted on his @pakcikshell Instagram account a demo of how MyKad verification for the RM1.99 per litre subsidised RON95 purchases would work at the fuel pump, without having to go to the cashier counter.
The video starts out with Pak Cik Shell cleaning his MyKad IC chip with an eraser – that’s just such a Malaysian thing to have to do and I’m sure all of us have done it some time in the past, especially at the banks, don’t you agree?
Next, he taps his Visa debit card on the touch reader to make a PayWave payment. Then, he inserts his MyKad into a physical reader slot for verification.
A few seconds later, and it looks like the whole process is done and he can proceed to pump. So it looks like Shell fuel pumps will be equipped with a MyKad reader so going to the cashier counter will not be necessary.
In the comments section, Pak Cik Shell clarifies that if you wish to use a Bonuslink card to collect rewards points, that comes as step three after the MyKad verification is done.
Of course, he performs this demo inside his office and not at an actual fuel pump. It could be because the system has not been activated yet on ground.
If every fuel company implements a MyKad reader at the pump, it looks like MyKad verification at the cashier will only be needed for cold hard cash payments, and not necessary for payments at the pump.
RON95 Subsidy at a Glance
- RON95 is RM1.99/L from Sept 30
- Anyone with MyKad and a valid driving license qualifies
- RM1.99 price for 300 litres per month
- E-hailing drivers get unlimited quota
- Physical MyKad and payment apps can both be used
- Unsubsidised price is RM2.60/L
all those people who bashed blindly in earlier posts should come in and apoligize for defaming great leader DSAI
Have u heard YIp Man (Donnie Yen) scolding the Japanese interpreter (Robert Lam) in Yip Man One?
“Chow kau ” …meaning lapdog.
PMX…Thank you very much…but wait a minute..
A.I suspect..suspect Raifixi’s RM 80 juta PADU was discarded and wasted…cos too cumbersome to individually scan each motorist.
B.After Turun U punya rally,YOur Excellency terkejut..decided to give the FMM criticised unproductive Sept 15 holiday and $1.99 Ron 95,as sweeteners to pacify a hostile crowd.
C.GE 16 is only 2 years away or earlier…so tambah salt pepper ajinomoto kau kau..to buy time
D.Budget 2026 is around the corner…so again to appease a hostile voter base,u decided to reward even the super rich with subsidies.Am I talking facts or fantasy?
I’m very sure the entire subsidy will be removed in future. Reason – we gave you the 1.99 last time. Govt had to lose billions blah blah blah…
Why so complicated if Rafizi & PMX fulfilled their janji above?
Dah menang lepas tu capati janji!

What if Malaysians driving Singapore registered cars?
those are considered disloyal, so no subsidy. if you dont believe me , can ask ollie
This is imbecileness, how many actual examples of this, and why would a person who can afford 500k RM Singaporean COE would need subsidies and why would anyone care about this isolated example? Hopefully this does not reflect collective IQ unless this is a small child playing around in the comments which it seems to be
plenty of examples of singaporean registered cars greedily brimming their full tanks with subsidized ron95 in malaysia. ollie must have been living inside batu caves for entire life to not know this, it really isnt an isolated incident. the numbers of foreigners driving in malaysia as well as the numbers of malaysians owning singapore cars are there if you cared to look harder.
This small child is still talking about looking hard to find a malaysian driving a Singapore registered car
He told us to bring ‘rubber’ (eraser) also and blow our card 2 times before inserting it.
So waiting for pakcik petronas, pakcik caltex, pakcik petron, pakcik five and not forgetting pakcik buraq after this.
hamsap la you
i thought it was scan mykad first, followed by payment card. then any reward card like bonuslink
Not able to use shell app to pay anymore…they need upgrade the shell app directly integrate with myKad.
What about Shell App?
So, statement “Maha Kaya”, the T 15 is no longer valid?
What price to pay if exceed 300L?
What about having a valid driving license? How to do this now that we don’t have a physical license?
