Govt launches campaign on subsidised RON95, diesel sales ban for foreign vehicles

THE Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry has launched an advocacy campaign pilot project on the ban of subsidised RON95 petrol and diesel sales to foreign-registered vehicles before expanding it nationwide.

Ministry deputy enforcement (operations) director Shamsul Nizam Khalil said Perlis was chosen for the pilot project because petrol stations in the state, which are close to the Malaysian-Thai border, are often frequented by foreign-registered vehicles.
