Malaysian government moves to stop fuel subsidy abuse


Dateline 2014-06-30, China Post:

 The Malaysian government will set a fixed volume of diesel that gas stations can sell in a move to curb abuses of the country’s fuel subsidy scheme.

 Gas station operators would also need to submit monthly reports of their diesel and RON 95 gasoline sale to the Domestic Trade, Cooperative and Consumerism Ministry, said its secretary-general Datuk Seri Alias Ahmad.

This was among a slew of measures being introduced nationwide starting Aug. 1 in a bid to prevent further abuses of the subsidy scheme.

Alias warned that erring traders would be permanently blacklisted.
