Kelantan State on Cheaper fuel
The Kelantan state government says it has received offers for cheaper, imported NGV (natural gas for vehicle) and (LPG) liquefied petroleum gas from overseas companies as part of its move to lighten the burden of the people following the increased fuel prices.However, the overseas producers of the fuel have requested the state government to get the Approval Permit (AP) to import the fuel, the chairman of the state committee for Economic, Finance and Social Planning, Datuk Husam Musa said. — BERNAMA
– CS : A very welcome move by the state government. Other states should follow.
Petronas
Its other project is Petronas NGV Sdn Bhd, which owns 90 stations with NGV facilities and has plans to increase the number of stations to 200 by 2010. Established in 1992, the NGV is sold at 68 sen per litre and Petronas has forked out RM500 million in subsidies.
Taxi Rates
The situation became worse ever since the government raised the fuel price last month, triggering a free-for-all situation as more and more cabbies decide to do away with the meter and quote their own rates according to their whims and fancies. The argument that NGV (Natural Gas for Vehicles) is cheaper and, therefore, the price increase does not affect them no longer holds water as they claim that it makes no difference at all.
