PETALING JAYA:
Shell Malaysia is working on restoring the supply of fuel at several petrol stations, following reports from customers that several stations had run out of fuel.

The oil and gas firm said peaks in demand had caused a shortfall of fuel at a few stations.

“We are closely monitoring a very dynamic situation and prioritising efforts to support fuel supply continuity within our retail network, in line with the government’s recent announcement,” it said in a statement this evening.

Yesterday, the Penang chapter of the domestic trade and cost of living ministry said Shell was experiencing disruptions at several stations in the northern state due to delayed deliveries of RON95 petrol and diesel.

The price of subsidised RON95 remains at RM1.99 a litre under the government’s BUDI95 scheme, despite the surge in oil prices caused by the Iran war.

However, the price of diesel in West Malaysia has surged to RM6.72 per litre currently. Diesel sold in East Malaysia remains at the subsidised price of RM2.15 per litre.
