What road-freight operators should check

Transporters and freight forwarders should check the fuel basis used in this week's quotation, surcharge and return-leg margin. This announcement does not determine an individual operator's final cost or rate.

Eligible subsidised diesel

The Ministry of Finance says diesel for eligible public transport and land-logistics users remains RM2.15 per litre under the government subsidy programme. Confirm your own eligibility and applicable programme conditions.
