Diesel Vehicle Sales Anticipated to Drop by 50%

The sales of diesel vehicles, particularly pickup trucks, are anticipated to drop by over 50% due to the introduction of floating fuel prices. Used car sales advisor Khairil Anwar Jaafar, 45, noted a significant slowdown in sales over the past month, with potential buyers adopting a wait-and-see approach.

As a result, Khairil’s company has decided to temporarily stop accepting diesel-engine vehicles. “The decline in sales has been noticeable for more than a month, even before the announcement of targeted diesel subsidies. We have about 15 to 20 diesel vehicles that remain unsold,” he said.

Premier Sarawak Mencadangkan Tenaga Alternatif Untuk Gantikan Diesel

Premier Sarawak Abang Johari Openg menyarankan kerajaan persekutuan mencari alternatif tenaga mampu milik dan mampan bagi menggantikan penggunaan diesel di seluruh negara. Beliau mencadangkan bahawa alternatif sedemikian boleh menghapuskan pergantungan kepada subsidi diesel yang dibiayai kerajaan.

Abang Johari membuat kenyataan ini selepas Persidangan dan Pameran Hidrogen Hijau Asia Pasifik (APGH) 2024, di mana beliau menekankan sifat tidak mampan subsidi diesel berterusan. “Jika rakyat terus bergantung kepada diesel dan menuntut subsidi apabila harga diesel naik, mereka akan terus meminta subsidi,” katanya.

Sarawak Premier Calls for Sustainable Energy Alternatives to Replace Diesel

Sarawak Premier Abang Johari Openg has urged the federal government to seek out affordable and sustainable energy alternatives to replace diesel consumption nationwide. He suggested that such alternatives could eliminate the reliance on government-funded diesel subsidies.

Abang Johari made these remarks following the Asia Pacific Green Hydrogen Conference and Exhibition (APGH) 2024, where he emphasised the unsustainable nature of continuous diesel subsidies. “If people keep relying on diesel and demanding subsidies whenever diesel prices rise, they’ll just keep asking for subsidies,” he stated.

Subsidi Diesel Dijangka Meningkatkan KDNK dan Penjimatan

Subsidi diesel baru-baru ini telah menimbulkan ramai pendapat berbeza mengenai kesannya terhadap ekonomi Malaysia. Pakar ekonomi seperti Prof Emeritus Dr. Barjoyai Bardai dan Dr. Mohd Afzanizam Abdul Rashid memberikan pandangan yang berbeza mengenai kesan pelarasan subsidi ini.

Menurut Dr. Barjoyai, seperti yang dilaporkan oleh NST, peningkatan ketara dalam penggunaan diesel Malaysia boleh memberi kesan yang ketara terhadap Keluaran Dalam Negara Kasar (KDNK) negara. Namun, beliau menegaskan bahawa walaupun harga diesel telah diselaraskan, harga tersebut masih kompetitif berbanding dengan negara jiran seperti Thailand, Indonesia, dan Singapura. Dr. Barjoyai juga memberi penghargaan kepada inisiatif bantuan Budi Madani kerajaan yang bertujuan untuk meringankan beban individu, terutamanya pengguna kenderaan diesel swasta.

Government’s Diesel Subsidy Rationalisation Expected to Boost GDP and Savings

Experts foresee a notable impact on Malaysia’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and substantial savings following the recent adjustment of diesel subsidies by the government, setting the pump price at RM3.35 per litre.

According to NST, Prof Emeritus Dr. Barjoyai Bardai of Malaysia University of Science and Technology (MUST) pointed out a significant surge in Malaysia’s diesel consumption, reaching 10.8 billion litres last year from 6.2 billion litres previously.

He emphasised that despite the new price, Malaysia’s diesel remains competitively priced compared to neighbouring countries like Thailand, Indonesia, and Singapore. Dr. Barjoyai also highlighted the government’s Budi Madani assistance initiative, aimed at easing the burden on individuals, particularly private diesel vehicle users.

Dr. Barjoyai expressed confidence in the government’s subsidy initiative for those in need, expecting it to help regulate commodity prices, although he stressed the importance of active price monitoring.

Pemulihan Penuh Bekalan Diesel Dalam Tempoh Dua Hari

Petronas Dagangan Bhd telah mengumumkan pemulihan penuh bekalan diesel di stesen-stesen mereka di seluruh negara dalam tempoh dua hari yang akan datang. Syarikat itu sebelum ini mendedahkan isu kekurangan diesel yang melibatkan beberapa stesen Petronas, dengan masalah tersebut dijangka berlarutan sehingga 31 Disember 2023.

Kementerian Perdagangan Dalam Negeri dan Hal Ehwal Pengguna (KPDN) Sarawak melaporkan bahawa ia tidak menerima maklumat dari Petronas mengenai gangguan bekalan yang mempengaruhi stesen-stesen di Sarawak dan Sabah.

KPDN Sarawak menyatakan bahawa Bahagian Penguatkuasaannya sedang menjalankan pemeriksaan dan pemantauan berterusan di semua stesen minyak.

Petronas Dagangan: Restoration of Diesel Supply Within Next Two Days

Petronas Dagangan Bhd has announced the full restoration of diesel supply at its stations nationwide within the next two days. The company had earlier disclosed a diesel shortage issue affecting several Petronas stations, with the problem expected to persist until December 31, 2023.

Petronas Dagangan expressed appreciation for customers’ patience and cooperation throughout the disruption, reiterating its commitment to providing uninterrupted service.

The Ministry of Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs (KPDN) Sarawak reported that it had not received information from Petronas regarding the supply disruption affecting stations in Sarawak and Sabah.

KPDN Sarawak stated that its Enforcement Division is actively conducting inspections and continuous monitoring at all petrol stations.

Potensi Kekurangan Diesel di Malaysia

Menurut NST, Persatuan Pengedar Minyak Malaysia (PDAM) telah memberi amaran tentang potensi kekurangan diesel, menyusul pengakuan Petronas Dagangan bahawa beberapa stesen miliknya mungkin mengalami bekalan diesel yang rendah sehingga Ahad. Permintaan meningkat, dipacu oleh harga diesel yang menarik, telah menekan stok yang ada.

Presiden PDAM, Datuk Khairul Annuar Abdul Aziz, meramalkan cabaran bekalan yang lebih meluas bagi industri petroleum, yang mungkin memberi kesan kepada lebih banyak syarikat pada awal Januari 2024.
