PUTRAJAYA: The use of fleet cards for diesel subsidy will be expanded as efforts are made to prevent leakages, smuggling and illegal sales, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
He said there was a serious need to plug leakages, adding that the surge in diesel usage compared to the number of diesel-type vehicles indicate that there are leakages and that the issue must be addressed.
“On the other hand, the number of registered vehicles using diesel has only increased 2.4%, from 2.08 million in 2019 to 2.13 million in 2022. The Prime Minister said the decision to expand the use of fleet cards would benefit nine sectors, including general cargo lorries, refrigerated trucks, water tanks, panel and window vans.
The Prime Minister said the database, to be known as PADU, was also to ensure a more systematic distribution of assistance, to avoid anyone who is eligible from not receiving it.
