Any individual or organisation intending to purchase more than 20 litres of petrol or diesel for filling into containers other than a vehicle’s fuel tank requires a special permit, said the ministry of domestic trade and cost of living (KPDN), reported New Straits Times.
Fuel purchases in containers without a permit are strictly limited to emergencies and must not exceed a volume of 20 litres, said KPDN director-general of enforcement Datuk Azman Adam.
“To prevent the misappropriation of controlled and subsidised goods such as petrol and diesel by irresponsible parties, any company, organisation, or individual intending to purchase petrol or diesel from petrol stations for purposes other than the vehicle’s original tank, or for private use, must apply for and obtain approval for a Special Permit under the Control of Supplies Act 1961,” he said.
“Purchases made under this special permit are applicable for quantities of 20 litres and above and are based on the current pump prices at the petrol station. No one except special permit holders are allowed to purchase fuel in barrels at petrol stations except for emergencies and the allowed quantity is below 20 litres,” he continued.
Individuals and organisations eligible for the permit include forklift operators, the water transport, water recreation, food, agriculture and farming, emergency services, maintenance, tourism, and minor scale construction industries, as well as the who reside in rural areas and on islands.
Holders of the special permit may use drum barrels, plastic or any container deemed safe and appropriate according to the approved quantity, address of petrol station, duration and frequency of purchase, according to the report.
Earlier this month, two individuals were caught on video filling separate containers with RON 95 petrol at a station in Skudai, Johor. Subsequent investigation found that the individual involved is a Malaysian and a MyKad holder, and the ministry of finance stated it will take action to the identity card used during that transaction, as well as the vehicle owner, from continuing to enjoy Budi95.
