THE government is looking to stave off a possible petrol supply shortage in the new year, said Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad, as reports surfaced of stations shutting down over the implementation of a new pricing system.

“We will look into the matter,” Dr Mahathir said in response to reports of stations that have shuttered without approval from the Petrol Dealers Association of Malaysia (PDAM).
