CEBU: Under the sweltering heat in this central Philippine province known for its beaches, convoys swept down palm-lined roads carrying South-East Asian leaders bound for the Asean Summit.
KOTA KINABALU: A consumer group says the government’s move to allow in-person registration for the subsidised diesel control system is a practical one, especially for traders, small operators and rural users facing difficulty with online registration.
In welcoming the move, Yayasan Pengguna Negara Malaysia Sabah chairman David Chan said there were earlier concerns because many genuine diesel users, including small business owners, transport operators, farmers and fishermen, might not be familiar with online systems or might have internet access problems.
"This physical counter service is a practical and people-friendly step to ensure no eligible applicant is left behind. Diesel is closely linked to transport, goods delivery and food prices.
"Any difficulty in accessing subsidy support will eventually affect consumers through higher costs," he said in a statement on Friday . YPNM thanked the Federal Government for listening to public concerns and urges the authorities to ensure the registration process is simple, transparent and fast.
