Saturday March 4, 2006 - The
STAR
DEPT OPEN ON
WEEKEND QUERIES
PETALING JAYA: The
Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry office in
Putrajaya will be open every Saturday and Sunday from 9am to
3pm until the end of the month to answer queries from
eligible fleet card applicants.
Minister Datuk Mohd Shafie Apdal
urged applicants to go to the ministry's office in various
states or to petrol stations to check if they were eligible
for the fleet card.
So far, only 8,500 or 10% of the
93,908 eligible vehicle owners had received fleet cards, he
said, adding that 275,000 vehicles in the country were
entitled under the fleet card system.
He urged those who had not
applied for the cards to do so at any Esso,
BHPetrol,
Shell, Petronas and Caltex stations, before the March 14
deadline.
Shafie said there would be a
limit to the amount of diesel a cardholder could buy in a
day, depending on the purpose and vehicle size.
Answering a question that some
food stalls had increased prices by 50 sen, he said the
public should report such cases to the ministry.
"They can call our hotline at
1
800 886 800."
