CEBU, May 8 — The government has assured that the country’s petrol and diesel supply is now more stable following proactive measures taken, particularly under the management of Petroliam Nasional Bhd (Petronas), Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said.
According to Bernama, Anwar, who is also Finance Minister, said measures such as reducing the use of RON95 petrol, stricter enforcement to curb diesel leakage and misappropriation, as well as efforts to import oil supplies, have proven effective in strengthening the nation’s supply security.
“Therefore, in terms of supply, the situation is not as severely affected as it was two months ago,” he told the media after attending the 48th Asean Summit and Related Meetings here today.
His remarks were in relation to the status of the country’s oil supply, which was previously reported to be sufficient at least until June this year.
