KUNDASANG: All 23 categories of vehicles registered under the Subsidised Diesel Control System (SKDS) will be eligible for a monthly quota of up to 5,000 litres set in their fleet cards, effective June 1.
Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali said the decision was made during the Cabinet meeting on May 20.
“Previously, eligibility for such vehicles was limited to the Cameron Highlands area. Beginning June 1, companies in the land goods transport sector nationwide that own jeeps and pickup trucks may apply to register under SKDS,” he told reporters, here, Saturday.
He said each fleet card would be allocated a fixed monthly quota ranging from 900 litres to 5,000 litres, subject to vehicle type.
“The quota for each vehicle is determined based on an analysis of actual usage patterns of the vehicle over the past two years of SKDS implementation,” he added.
“In addition, applicants must fulfil other eligibility requirements, including transferring vehicle ownership from an individual to a company through the Road Transport Department,” he said.
He added that companies requiring fuel usage beyond the stipulated limit may submit appeals for quota increases to the Petroleum Subsidy Approval Committee (JKSP), which is managed by the Ministry.
“Appeals can be submitted online via email at mysubsidi@kpdn.gov.my or physically at the nearest KPDN office.
“Applications will be assessed based on the justification of actual operational requirements and existing monthly fuel usage records in the SKDS system since approval was granted,” he said.
He encouraged companies in the public land transport, land goods transport and water public transport sectors that have not yet enjoyed petrol and diesel subsidies to register under the Subsidised Petrol Control System (SKPS) and SKDS.
Armizan stressed that all companies receiving fuel subsidy benefits under SKPS and SKDS must use their fleet cards responsibly.
“Any misuse will result in the immediate suspension of the fleet card and the company concerned being blacklisted,” he said.
As of May 20, 2026, a total of 179,716 companies involving 432,495 eligible vehicles in the public land transport, land goods transport and water public transport sectors had received petrol and diesel subsidy benefits.
“This includes 19,189 companies involving 38,817 vehicles under SKPS, and 160,527 companies involving 393,678 vehicles under SKDS,” he said.
Also present were KPDN Director-General Datuk Azman Adam and KPDN Sabah Director Shahril Nizam bin Shahidan.
