Leakage of subsidised diesel in Malaysia has dropped by 78% following the implementation of subsidy rationalisation for diesel fuel in Peninsular Malaysia, New Straits Times has reported. Seizures of diesel have also decreased by 87%, deputy minister of domestic trade and cost of living Fuziah Salleh told the Dewan Rakyat today.
Figures for the reduction in leakage of subsidised diesel were derived from Ops Tiris data, and this was based on a comparison of the 20 days before and after the diesel subsidy rationalisation was implemented on June 10, which saw the price of retail diesel increase from RM2.15 per litre by 56% or RM1.20, to RM3.35 per litre.
Retail sales of diesel have dropped by 37% in the first week since the implementation of the subsidy rationalisation, while commercial diesel sales have increased by 44%, and border diesel sales have dropped by 24%, Fuziah said.
Meanwhile for public and goods land transport, the ministry of domestic trade and cost of living (KPDN) stated that it will be meeting with the five major oil companies operating in Malaysia on Thursday (July 18) to identify a quicker mechanism for issuing fleet cards to eligible applicants to the subsidised diesel control system (SKDS).
The SKDS 2.0 programme began in March this year, with almost 200,000 public transport and goods vehicles having been approved for the scheme as of June 13. As of July 14, a total of 248,887 public and goods transport vehicles involving 88,029 companies have had diesel subsidy applications approved under the SKDS, said KPDN minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali.

Why only 78%? why not 100%
So it looks like some gov agency is still involved in leakage?
Coz we say 78% lor. It could be 88% you not belip. It could be 98% you also not belip. 100% lagi not belip. So we make up number 78% to con you to belip. Trust us, you gave us your votes wat.
This is a good thing. I know there will be haters for this post again but really think about it:
If you’re a needy person, there’s a mechanism to assist you and you continue getting subsidy;
If you’re rich, and pay a lot of tax. Why in earth do you want your tax money to subsidise foreigner or other rich people?
If you’re rich, pay taxes and consumes a lot of diesel because you think you deserves it by getting back more than you pay, then about time you lose those subsidy.
If hating anything the government do is a hobby of yours, ah well, go ahead be happy the government is entertaining you.
If you still happy the gomen is shafting you while telling you lies, then go ahead and be happy. Doesn’t mean everyone else would happy to be shafted.
Is it really leakage down OR prople simply use less? Or they used their petrol vehicles?
Judging by our govt, they might mix the data up lol
meanwhile, PADU cost went up by 400% from RM2m to RM85m.
Don’t forget mysejahtera went up 5,550% from RM6m to RM339m. Who was the health minister that time?
time to time good news popup… hahahaha
We have been saying for decades to remove all subsidies and focus on strengthening the currency.
Remove all lopsided special rights and focus on fair treatment for all
Kalau nak tipu baik tipu all the way. Might as well say diesel leakage stopped 100%. Ingat semua Malaysians bodoh ke? Throw our some figures and expect everyone to believe
Some zombiac brainless PH supporters above still believe them
