This demand of the Petrol Dealers Association of Malaysia (PDAM) follows efforts to reduce fuel subsidy and curb profiteering.
In a statement, the association said: Now oil companies are giving all sort of incentives to the consumers to encourage them to buy more fuel. This encourages wastages and unimportant fuel purchases. The end effect is the oil companies’ fuel sales volume goes up and the government pays higher fuel subsidy.
The association has also asked the government to stop oil companies from offering incentives to consumers to buy fuel. Limiting the operating hours of fuel stations will also lower fuel subsidy, the association added.
