KOTA KINABALU: The low subsidised diesel supply in parts of Sabah is causing problems to the users, said Elopura assemblyman Calvin Chong.

       Not only those driving diesel-fuelled vehicles, he said the fishermen and lorry drivers ferrying goods such as palm oil and fruits are also affected.

       “I was told that there is a limited stock of supply at a petrol station in Sandakan and this concerns many people,” he said in a statement on Saturday (Dec 30).

       He said the situation has also affected the industries that required the use of heavy machinery and heavy vehicles.
