PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDNHEP) has given the assurance that there is an adequate supply of gasoline and diesel for sale daily throughout the country. Its secretary-general Datuk Seri Jamil Salleh said both petrol and diesel were available, denying claims that consumers might face difficulties in getting both fuels by Jan 1. He was reported to have said this was because of the reluctance of petrol station operators to increase storage in their tanks by the end of this month. Jamil said that as a retail licensee of petrol and diesel under the Control of Supply Regulations 1974, it was compulsory for petrol station operators to comply with the licence terms and to ensure that the supply of petrol and diesel were available and sufficient for daily sale. Jamil said that KPDNHEP enforcement officers would monitor and inspect the stations from time to time to ensure that fuel supply was sufficient for the public.
