Question

Accepted Answer

Mandatory SKDS Fleet Card Use Enforcement Date Yet to Be Announced

The mandatory use of Subsidised Diesel Control System (SKDS) fleet cards for the goods and public land transport sectors in Sabah, Sarawak, and Labuan will be enforced on a date that is yet to be announced. Companies operating in these sectors are strongly encouraged to register for SKDS to continue receiving diesel subsidies at the subsidised rates. As of June 14, a total of 8,060 companies across Sabah, Sarawak, and Labuan had registered under the SKDS, encompassing 29,631 vehicles.
Continued Urgency for Registration

Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali has reiterated the call for goods and public land transport companies in Sabah, Sarawak, and Labuan to register immediately for the SKDS. This registration is crucial for eligible companies to receive fleet cards, which are necessary to access diesel subsidies. The subsidised diesel price is set at RM2.15 per litre for goods transportation and RM1.88 per litre for public land transport operators.
Extended Application Period and Benefits

Applications for the SKDS for the goods transport sector were extended to Sabah, Sarawak, and Labuan on May 4. By registering under SKDS, companies ensure that their vehicles, falling under the 33 eligible categories, continue to benefit from subsidised diesel. This measure aims to prevent transport operators from being compelled to purchase diesel at market prices.
Purpose of the SKDS Fleet Card System

The SKDS, including its fleet card system, was introduced as a mechanism to address leakages in diesel subsidies. It employs a digital monitoring and enforcement system designed to ensure that the subsidies directly benefit the intended recipients. This initiative is also part of broader efforts to combat subsidy leakages stemming from smuggling, abuse, and misuse of subsidised diesel by foreign nationals and undocumented individuals.
