KUALA LUMPUR: Shell Trading Malaysia has come out in support of the government’s directive forbidding petrol station operators from shortening their operating hours.
The trading arm of Shell Malaysia broke its silence since the issue first surfaced and said it would support whatever directive was issued by the government on the matter.
Its managing director, Datuk Mohzani Abdul Wahab, said the 830 Shell dealers nationwide were expected to continue business as usual.
Half the dealers operate 24-hour petrol stations.
Mohzani also disputed the claims by the Petrol Dealers Association of Malaysia that the operating hours were not stated in their licences.
He said minimum business hours were stipulated in the contracts.
“We expect them to continue business as usual and to honour their contractual obligations,” Mohzani said after launching the new look for Shell petrol stations yesterday.
The association had come under heavy fire for wanting to operate from 7am to 10pm.
The government had warned dealers that they faced having their petrol stations shut down and risked losing their licences.
Mohzani also made an interesting point when he said: “If being a petrol dealer is really unprofitable business, why do we still get thousands of applications for dealerships every year?”

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
