Boycott by Petrol Station today??

I got 3 smses today about the petrol station won't be selling any fuel wef 2pm Today! At first I didn't bother because I thought like...."WTH??who was so free to circulate this type of SMS aahh?" and the source is not very reliable .. (normal lah .. if the info is already from 1 person to the other..) Anyway my ex-colleague called me up just a few moments ago and informs me that the "Fleet Card" has been suspended temporarily until further notice. And according to the drivers they have to fill up before 2pm as the petrol kiosk won't be selling fuel to anyone after that.
Is this a cheap gimmick or what...? So I checked the Internet ....... and I found this instead!

Petrol kiosks may stop credit card payments

CONSUMERS may not be able to use credit cards to pay for petrol soon as the Petrol Dealers Association of Malaysia (PDAM) has issued a letter to its
members asking them not to accept such cards for the time being, Sin Chew Daily
reported.Association deputy president Datuk Zulkifli Mokti said its 3,500
members would only take cash pending the meeting with the Government on the
service charge issue. He said banks charge 1% service charge on every litre
of petrol sold. “Petrol dealers paid 1.9 sen on every litre as service charge
when the petrol price was RM1.90 per litre, and now we have to pay 2.7 sen as
the petrol price has been raised to RM2.70 per litre,” he said. The petrol
dealers also would not accept the diesel subsidy card during this period, it
reported.
