KUCHING, Feb 13: Petroleum Sarawak Bhd (Petros) has assured that it will not impose any price increase on its liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) supply across Sarawak despite operational challenges at the PUSAKA Integrated Resources LPG Bottling Plant in Bintulu following a recent landslide.
In a statement today, it explained that the recent flood had caused a landslide at the PUSAKA Integrated Resources LPG Bottling Plant in Bintulu, temporarily halting the plant’s operations for the safety of its surrounding community.
To ensure continuous liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) supply for Sarawak’s Northern Region customers, Petros has activated its business continuity plan by sourcing LPG supply from Kuching and Sepanggar Bay in Sabah.
“Customers are assured that there is sufficient LPG cylinder volume to meet demand in Sarawak. To further alleviate the situation in the Northern Region, Petros is increasing its LPG transportation capacity from Kuching and Sepanggar Bay, as well as establishing depots for additional storage capacity in Miri.
“We are also aware of the misinformation circulating on social media claiming that additional transportation costs are being passed down to customers.
“We would like to inform members of the public that this is untrue as Petros is bearing all transportation costs to prevent any price increase,” it said.
Petros said it is actively collaborating with relevant authorities, logistics partners, and local distributors to expedite restocking and deliveries, with the situation expected to be resolved as soon as safely possible.
Petros also urged the public to refrain from creating and sharing false information as well as to avoid panic buying – purchase only what is necessary to ensure fair distribution for all.
Customers are encouraged to report any parties imposing additional charges to PETROSNiaga’s Customer Service at 1300-88-2122 for immediate action. – DayakDaily
