Petrol Dealers Urge Delay in RON95 Subsidy Plan Over Cost Concerns.The Petroleum Dealers Association of Malaysia (PDAM) has called on the government to delay the RON95 subsidy rationalisation until two key issues are addressed: outdated margins under the Automatic Pricing Mechanism (unchanged since 2019) and rising Merchant Discount Rate (MDR) costs. PDAM warns small and medium station operators could face immediate losses if implemented now. The association also rejected claims of no consultation, stressing its 40-year industry role and readiness to engage constructively.
