KLANG: The number of companies that have registered for the diesel fleet card is inching towards 29,000 even though no specific date has been set for the diesel subsidy rationalisation exercise this year.

The figure was revealed by Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali as he confirmed that no definitive implementation date has been set, even though the Cabinet has agreed in principle to move away from the current broad-based subsidy for diesel to a targeted form, starting with Peninsular Malaysia.
