IPOH: The proposed new fuel pricing mechanism may not take off on May 1 because most petrol dealers are still in the dark over details of the plan, said a source from the Perak Petrol Dealers Association.
“We are still unsure on the type of car owners who will qualify for the subsidy,” he said.
The source said that the latest information obtained by the association hinted that 2,000cc and above vehicles and company-owned cars would not be entitled to the subsidy.
Under the new system, each motorist was only eligible to one subsidy, he said.
“You can have a garage full of cars registered under your name but only one car will be entitled to it,” he said.
Association chairman Ng Bee Keong said members, whose stations were considered as “high volume”, had been advised to get ready for the change.
”We foresee that more workers would be needed once the system is implemented,” he said, explaining that the workers were needed to assist in the operating of the MyKad reader.
Deputy Domestic Trade, Co-operatives and Consumerism Minister Datuk Tan Lian Hoe, when met at the Perak Chinese Chambers of Commerce and Industry Chinese New Year open house on Monday, said her ministry was still gathering feedback on the matter from the people.
