KUALA LUMPUR: As of July 14 this year, 88,183 companies involving 249,091 public and commercial vehicles were approved to receive diesel subsidies under the Subsidised Diesel Control System 2.0, the Dewan Rakyat was told. The ministry was responding to Datuk Siti Amina Aching (PN-Beaufort), who asked about the latest number of companies and vehicles registered under Subsidised Diesel Control System 2.0. “Through this programme, the government bears the cost of diesel subsidy, which is given to qualified vehicles, and the government expects savings of up to RM4bil a year,” said the ministry. Subsidies are continued for traders using diesel-powered commercial vehicles and for public transportation. Eligible transport companies can apply for the targeted subsidies through http://mysubsidi.kpdn.gov.my.
