KUALA LUMPUR: Only the holders of valid special permits are allowed to fill petrol or diesel in containers.
The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN), however, said that for emergency situations, the permitted quantity is below 20 litres.
“Compliance with these regulations is crucial to avoid any legal action,” it posted on Facebook on Thursday.
Applications for the special permit can be made online at https://spb.kpdn.gov.my.
There are 10 categories eligible to apply for the special permit: forklift vehicles, water transport, residents in rural and island areas, food industry operators, water-based recreation, agriculture and livestock, emergency assistance, maintenance, tourism and small-scale construction.
Earlier on Thursday, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim, in a special address, announced that the government would temporarily adjust the quota for the Budi MADANI RON95 (BUDI95) programme from 300 litres to 200 litres per month, effective April 1, following the ongoing conflict in West Asia.
He, however, stressed that the price of subsidised RON95 petrol would remain at RM1.99 per litre. – BERNAMA
