Govt to make extra fuel available for Raya
Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Salahuddin Ayub says the government wants to avoid a repeat of last year’s festive fuel shortage. – The Malaysian Insight file pic, April 20, 2023.
In May last year, petrol stations reported supply shortages due to up to 50% greater demand during the festive period. Salahuddin said the ministry had taken a softer approach by only giving advice to errant traders and that legal action would be imposed if they repeated the offence. He added that there were traders in several locations who sold fresh chicken above the control price of RM9.40/kg because they claimed to be receiving the supplies via two to three layers of wholesalers, and were also forced to impose a cutting charge of RM1.
