PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad is expected to hold a discussion with the Petroleum Dealers Association of Malaysia (PDAM) on Monday (Dec 31) to discuss Putrajaya's announcement of weekly fuel price float. The Prime Minister said the discussion would focus on how to resolve PDAM's concerns after the weekly fuel price float begins on Tuesday (Jan 1). “Yes, they came to see us, we will talk to them and we are trying to solve the problem. Recently, Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng announced that from Jan 1, 2019, fuel prices, including for RON 95 petrol, will be floated and set on a weekly basis. Asked whether the government was concerned whether there would be a fuel shortage after the weekly fuel price float is implemented, Dr Mahathir said he could only give his assurance that it would be sufficient.
