The subsidised diesel control system 2.0 (SKDS 2.0) for land transport begins today, and will involve five petroleum companies and nine types of vehicles, said the minister of domestic trade and cost of living (KPDN) Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali, reported Bernama.
The nine types of vehicles include general cargo lorries, bottled drinks lorries, refrigerated lorries, luton lorries, prime movers, flour tankers, water tankers and panelled window vans. Vehicle operating companies using the vehicles concerned can submit applications through the KPDN MySubsidi Diesel system, here from today, Armizan said.
There are two levels of application to be made, said Armizan, and this is to KPDN for the authorisation of the subsidy, and to the petroleum company for the issuance of the fleet card.
“Once approved, they can apply for the card from five oil companies of their choice, be it Petronas, Shell, Caltex, BHP or Petron,” Armizan said, according to Bernama. The application approvals by KPDN takes between one to two days, while the issuance of the fleet card by the petroleum companies is estimated to take two to four weeks, he said.
Companies are hoped to apply from today in order to ensure that the fleet card can be used from April 1, the minister added.
In terms of future planning, the KPDN and the ministry of finance were looking at the need to expand the pilot project to other land transport sectors which are suitable, in order to tackle the risk of diesel supply leakage and smuggling of subsidised diesel more efficiently and effectively, Armizan said.
“This digital method can help reduce the cost of inspection and enforcement which is done physically as we have deployed around 2,200 enforecement personnel so far,” he continued.
In January, the KPDN announced that it is conducting a pilot project for the trialling of the MySubsidi Diesel system along with the fleet card system used by petroleum companies, aimed at implementation from February. The pilot project is to be conducted through six logistics companies, to evaluate the effectiveness of the fleet card and MySubsidi Diesel systems.

Only 6 logistics company for trial. How about the smaller logistic players including individuals and SMEs. There are hundred thousands of them left out. Habis, inflation will skyrocket!!! Only benefit your cronies and big companies only????
This is only a trial to see how it works in practice, so that it can be adjusted before full rollout. Diesel subsidy is still in place. Don’t spread your ignorance.
Lets kick out all OKU and Cronies in the government. We are oild producing country for God’s sake. Many small kampung seller or farmers rely on diesel to maintain their small farm and collect their produce to sell. If diesel nail all barang will naik. No more cheap vege or durians etc anymore. If don’t know how to gali minyak, come let me do it. I will reduced diesel price 50% tomorrow without subsidies. Don’t tipu us that u need to subsidized minyak. Only a uneducated fool will believe your nonsense. Corruption say corruption la. Subsidy means to put money in cronie’s pocket. U think everyone is bodoh?
