Two unsubsidised petrol stations for foreigners in Kelantan approved

The Kelantan branch of the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry has approved the construction of two non-subsidised petrol stations in Rantau Panjang and Jeli, exclusively for foreign nationals.

State ministry director Azman Ismail said construction of the Rantau Panjang station is underway, and the Jeli station is awaiting a system conversion from subsidised to non-subsidised, pending approval from the Finance Ministry.

“We already have a non-subsidised petrol station in Padang Besar, Perlis,” he said after launching the fourth branch of Raja Perfume in Bandar Baru Jelawat, Bachok, today.

He explained that the introduction of these petrol stations would address the problem of foreign nationals rushing to refuel at stations in the state and help eliminate the smuggling of petrol and diesel to neighbouring countries.

As for the upcoming Ramadan bazaar preparations, Azman said the ministry has set up the Ramadan Rahmah Bazaar site in Tunjong, offering 80 Rahmah menu items at low prices, in addition to regular-priced menus.

He added that the ministry has also allocated RM20 for the first 1,000 visitors each day throughout the six days of the bazaar.
