LPG cylinder exchange ongoing, no deadline, says JKKKs
KUCHING: Consumers here need not worry as there is no deadline or time limit for the households to exchange their empty yellow MyGaz liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cylinders to either the red or green tanks by PetrosNiaga.
This was stated by the village security and development committees (JKKKs) of Desa Wira-Stapok-Jalan Batu 4 ½Jalan Batu Kawa and Pekan Lama Batu Kawa in a joint press statement issued yesterday.
“Those who are unable to replace their LPG tanks in time need not to worry as the government has indicated that there is no deadline or time limit for this replacement,” said the statement.
“To facilitate the replacement of the original yellow cylinders, seven tank-exchange programmes have been held at various locations in Batu Kawa.
“The yellow cylinders belonged to MyGaz (owned by Thais and Penisular Malaysians), whereas the red and green ones are by PetrosNiaga, the retail arm of Sarawak Petroleum Bhd (Petros).”
The JKKKs added that they had also collaborated with other residential committees like that JKKK RPR Batu Kawa to assist Petros, and its agent Petros LPG BCS, in particular.
“The programme has, so far, received good response, and unexpectedly, many of those who attended are not residents of Batu Kawa.
“We’re able to have more than 900 MyGaz yellow tanks exchanged with Petros’ red tanks throughout the exchange campaign period.
“Petros distribution agent, Petros LPG BCS, has also been tasked with covering the areas of Mile 3, Mile4, King’s Centre, (Taman) Hui Sing, Batu Kawa, Batu Lintang, and Kenyalang (Park),” said the JKKKs.
The public are advised to contact Jimmy Sim via 010-979 3979, or the customer service hotline 019-900 8388, whereas residents from other areas are to contact Petros via 1-300-882122 for assistance or queries.
“If delivery service is needed, please kindly follow the steps to fill out the order details such as delivery date, quantity, customer address, and contact number, whereby customers will be notified prior delivery.
“After completing the order details, please kindly send your location via WhatsApp to Petros LPG BCS, and they will arrange for delivery,” said the JKKKs, while extending its gratitude to Petros, Petros LPG BCS and JKKK Batu Kawa for their support towards the programme.
