The Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry announced that, with immediate effect, all limits on the volume of subsidised diesel that can be bought in Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan have been removed. Previously, commercial users in industries such as fishing, agriculture and public transport were subject to a cap on litres per purchase to regulate local fuel availability. Now that inventories are stable, the ministry says these restrictions are no longer needed.

Businesses in the specified states and territory may now top up with any amount of subsidised diesel they require—there is no longer a three-drum (or similar) limit. Yet, companies holding bulk reserves (for instance, tanks exceeding 1,000 litres) must still enroll their storage facilities in the ministry’s online Diesel Subsidy Management System. This process enables authorities to monitor large-scale storage and prevent diversion or stockpiling.

The ministry further urged retailers and station operators to adhere to all standard fuel distribution rules, including precise metering and proper record-keeping. Enforcement officers will continue conducting spot audits to verify that the subsidy reaches its rightful recipients.

Industry bodies in Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan have praised the change, noting it will simplify operations for fishermen, farmers and inter-urban logistics firms that often encountered delays under the previous quota framework. The Domestic Trade Ministry emphasised that while purchase caps have been removed, the subsidised diesel price remains the same and eligibility for subsidy continues to depend on genuine commercial use.
