Transport operators should store diesel in skid tanks


I REFER to the report “Group: Additional quota for diesel may not suffice” (The Star, July 29) and was surprised that even buses owned by a leading express bus operator had to fill up at multiple places before taking passengers.

Pan Malaysia Bus Operators Association president Datuk Mohamad Ashfar Ali fears that buses would be stranded if drivers could not find diesel, and a delivery man claimed to have visited 10 stations before getting enough fuel.
