KUALA LUMPUR (July 28): Petron Malaysia is now accepting cashless payments for home delivery of its LPG cooking gas, Petron Gasul, in collaboration with GHL Systems Bhd.

In a joint statement today, they said customers can place their orders for Petron Gasul cylinders with their local Petron LPG dealer and then select any of the available e-wallets for payment which include Touch 'n Go, Boost, GrabPay, Maybank QRPay, Alipay, MBSB, MCash and UPI QRPay.

Petron Malaysia head of retail and commercial business Choong Kum Choy said the safety and convenience of the group’s customers remain a top priority.

“We have received so much positive feedback with our e-wallet payment option for our fuels and other items at our service stations that we decided to extend this service to households in need of our Petron Gasul,” he added.

Meanwhile, GHL chief executive officer Danny Leong said the collaboration was timely as the firm, with its extensive footprint reaching up to over 240,000 payment touchpoints across Malaysia, coupled with Petron’s product, was on a mission to catalyse the readiness of cashless payments for the convenience of customers.

“We are excited to harness the accelerated shift towards digital payments as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic,” he said.

Petron said this service is available through participating Petron LPG dealers nationwide.

At the midday break, GHL fell 2.34% or 5 sen to RM2.09 with 315,200 shares traded. Petron was unchanged at RM3.77 with 47,400 shares traded.
