lol. tis system sucks.
Lets say i'm the owner of a petrol stat n i can just give the subsidy to whomever i want. how to chk who is entitled n who is not?
making the system will cost more than subsidising. better just have one then 2.
either u subsidised or u dun't at all

At the WCIT 2008 conference, ePetrol was demonstrating a way that fuel subsidies could be controlled and given to Malaysians only. In their implementation at that time, the petrol kiosk displays and charges the unsubsidised market price for petrol by default.

When an ePetrol-enabled MyKad is inserted, the subsidised price will be available. The petrol receipt (which I saw back at the event but for some reasons did not take pix of) shows both the unsubsidised price and the subsidy given.

Apparently ePetrol and EON Bank launched a pilot project in September last year for 250 EON Bank customers to use their MyKad to pay for fuel purchases at certain selected BHPetrol and Caltex stations. During the pilot trial, ePetrol gave the trial users a discount of 15 sen per liter up to 150 liters a month. You can probably consider the 15 sen discount effectively a test of a potential subsidy system.

ePetrol revealed at the WCIT 2008 that its system had a subsidy management system module. The module is able to identify MyKad holders entitled to fuel subsidies, manage the amount of subsidies allocated to each consumer, controlling the frequency of the subsidy provided (weekly limits, monthly limits, etc), and managing how the subsidy is provided (lump sum each month or a percentage of each purchase).

This would mean that a technical system for a MyKad-based subsidy system to be implemented has already been undergoing testing for over a year. Now one big question mark is for the government to finalise the nitty gritty details on how to determine who gets subsidies and how much subsidies they should get. The ePetrol system will be reprogrammed, implemented in all stations (this could possibly be a costly thing), and wala! You have a subsidy system set in place.

most probably is a cased based subisdy, like the 300 we get last time, according to car registration card is stated engine CC, also there is plans to use myKad to verify identity

but then again, more back-end processes, can't someone just waltz in to the petrol station, pay, pump and leave, instead of checking IC and all what's-not, and not only that, what if my French friends in Malaysia wants to pump petrol and ask me to do it instead of him? Or the car that i am driving is registered under my dad/mom/uncle/aunt/grandfather/grandmother/BF/GF/Dog's name then how to check?

how is one to apply to have it?
Every1 with valid drivers license to get? or every1 with a car/bike to get it?
Only for petrol?
How about Diesel?

Diesel is way cheaper than petrol and the price for industrial use does not include any government subsidy. Go figure.

"The ePetrol system will be reprogrammed, implemented in all stations (this could possibly be a costly thing), and wala! You have a subsidy system set in place."

can see my reply above, anyways nobody is going to give away their subsidy bro, and very likely it is limited amount say 150 liters permonth which might be enough for some, so your going to give that to your French expat friends who earn more than you?

if your dad can own 2-3 cars the assumption is he can afford the 2.10 petrol price too. your uncle aunt also won't give their subsidy to you

FYI: industrial diesel is expensive
and to my previous question: from paul tan as well

the first thing is to change the car ROAD TAX structure.

before this the reason of high roadtax for large engine capacity is the fuel subsidy.

so now i expect ther goveernment to put a common roadtax price. i dont care if i dont have petrol subsidy but i want my car road tax to be SENSIBLE!

true, but what about logistics firm then, a special company card to give them subsidy?...all in all, it's a very ma fan system, it's better that government start looking at the bigger picture overall, employee's basic salary...you have to adjust it accordingly in order for people to survive and buy basic stuff.

I remember a friend of mine gave me a small calculation regarding the pay of an average household and how they survive in M'sia....it's just that bad...

roadtax is cheap now my friend.... the insurance is not.....
