PETALING JAYA: The Finance Ministry has clarified that Petron Fuel International Sdn Bhd (Petron) is not the sole supplier of petrol and diesel for federal government vehicles.

The explanation comes after Petron’s letter of appointment by the Government went viral, fuelling questions of possible nepotism as Prime Minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad’s son Mirzan is a director in Petron Corporation which owns Petron Malaysia.
