After numerous complaints from requestors, the Domestic Trade and Cost Living Ministry (KPDN)’s minister, Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali has stated that KPDN is currently in constant communication with fuel companies.

KPDN is looking to speed up the fleet card distribution process under the Subsidised Diesel Control System (SKDS).

Delay in SKDS fleet cards

According to Bernama, Datuk Armizan stated that KPDN is looking closely at the delays happening in the fleet card distribution system. He also stated that the delays are caused by multiple reasons, including the due diligence needed to ensure that applicants are actually eligible for the fleet card.

Armizan also stated that right now, it can take up to one month after application for the fleet card to be distributed, which KPDN is working towards shortening to 14 days.

In order to achieve this goal, KPDN is looking to engage with the five fuel companies involved in the fleet card system this Thursday.

According to records from the five fuel companies involved in the fleet card system, 165,897 fleet cards have been distributed.
