On Sunday, there was no delivery, and today we received over 300 KL”, Susindro said sharing details of the fuel delivery.
“Some people fill up their vehicle tanks but haven’t paid for it yet. To address this, the government will press the police into action and deploy one food and civil supplies staff in every petrol pump” he added.

“If domestic cylinders are used for business purposes, the general public will experience shortages. I’ve given a week to replace it or we will seize the cylinders”, he added.
He further requested the petrol pump owners to talk to the government if they are facing any issues so that the government can come up with solutions.
