NIBONG TEBAL: Around 180,000 commercial vehicles have not yet registered under the Subsidised Diesel Control System 2.0, according to Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Deputy Minister Fuziah Salleh.
"Based on records, there are 389,000 vehicles in this category registered with the Road Transport Department, but only 209,000 have registered under SKDS 2.0. "You don’t have to own up to 20 vehicles to consider yourself eligible for the diesel subsidy. Even owners with one, two or three vehicles can apply, provided they fall under the 23 specified categories,” she told reporters after attending the Penang-level ‘Bijak Belanja Pengguna’ programme and Rahmah Madani Sales in Simpang Ampat on Thursday .
Public transport and commercial vehicle owners who have received SKDS approval but have not yet received a fleet card from an oil company are required to keep diesel purchase receipts to enable cash refund claims to be made with the Finance Ministry.
