 Sri Aman Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living's (KPDN) branch head Qartinee Mohamad Esa said the achievement showed a positive response from transport companies, the logistics sector and commercial vehicle owners who are eligible to enjoy subsidized diesel facilities under the scheme.

According to her, the implementation of SKDS is an important government initiative to ensure that diesel subsidies are channeled to groups and sectors that are truly eligible, in addition to reducing leakage and increasing the efficiency of national subsidy management.

“Through this system, companies that meet the eligibility requirements will continue to enjoy access to subsidized diesel to support the continuity of their operations and economic activities,” she told reporters at the SKDS briefing and mobile registration counter programme here today.

The programme organised by the Sarawak KPDN involved the participation of 80 participants and began with a briefing session delivered by the head of the development section of the Sarawak KPDN, Jacqualine Jagang.

Qartinee said the programme aims to broaden understanding and facilitate the registration process for companies and vehicles eligible under the SKDS

She said the field approach through engagement sessions and mobile counters allows participants to obtain detailed information on eligibility requirements, application procedures, subsidy quota management and compliance with the regulations set.

“This programme is part of the ongoing efforts to ensure that information related to the implementation of the SKDS can be delivered directly to the business community and stakeholders throughout Sarawak,” she said.

She added that the ministry will continue to intensify briefing programmes and mobile registration counters at strategic locations throughout the state to ensure that more companies and commercial vehicle owners who qualify can participate in the SKDS.

“The cooperation of all parties is greatly appreciated in the successful implementation of this government policy to ensure that the benefits of the diesel subsidy can be enjoyed in a fair, transparent and targeted manner,” he said.

Present were Sri Aman District Officer Shariff Bujang and the Commercial Vehicle Licensing Board Office Lena Buntal.
