How ePetrol system works
THE user will need to register and activate his MyKad at a registration kiosk to be eligible for the fuel subsidy.
At the same time, the user can link the MyKad to his bank account so payment can be debited from the account each time a fuel purchase is made. Otherwise, payment can be made via credit card or cash.
The MyKad supports biometric validation, for example, photo and thumbprint identification, and can be PIN-enabled for secure transactions.
The user then inserts his MyKad into the petrol pump reader which reads the MyKad and provides information on the total amount of fuel subsidy the user is entitled to as well as how many litres of each type of fuel the user can pump on the screen.
The user pumps the amount of fuel needed.
Once the transaction is completed, the total price of the fuel purchased, subsidy allocated, subsidy balance and amount payable is automatically calculated and printed on a receipt at the pump.
The fuel subsidy balance is stated on the receipt after each transaction so that the user is aware of the value remaining after each transaction.
ePetrol Holdings Sdn Bhd executive vice-president Jeff Perera said even if the MyKad was borrowed by another user, the borrower would only be able to pump subsidised petrol up to the limit the MyKad owner was eligible for.
“This leakage is small even if anyone is generous enough to share his or her subsidy,” he said.
In the event of MyKad theft or loss, Perera said the owner would need to make a report to ePetrol and his MyKad would be immediately de-linked from the ePetrol system.
