KUALA LUMPUR: Deputy Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister, Datuk Dr Fuziah Salleh, has urged the public not to panic as the status of the country’s fuel supply remains stable and sufficient.
In this regard, the public should continue their purchases as usual, she said in a Facebook post on Saturday.

“As informed, there has been an increase in demand in several locations, causing temporary supply disruptions at some petrol stations,” she said
Fuziah said that the cooperation from all parties is important to ensure the situation remains under control, and any further developments will be communicated periodically.
