<P class=abstract>KUALA LUMPUR: Don't be surprised if some petrol stations do 
not accept payment by credit cards any more. </P><!--start pix2 & pix3-->
<TABLE cellSpacing=3 cellPadding=0 width=200 align=right><TBODY></TBODY></TABLE><!--end pix2 & pix3-->The Petroleum Dealers Association 
has sent notices to its 3,500 members nationwide, advising them to accept only 
cash from motorists who fill up their tanks from today.<BR><BR>Association 
president Abdul Wahid Bidin said following the increase in fuel prices, petrol 
station operators could no longer be burdened by the charges imposed on them by 
credit card companies.<BR><BR>"It is a business decision. After the fuel price 
hike, petrol station operators have to cut costs." <BR><BR>He said some of the 
stations had stopped accepting credit cards since yesterday.
<CENTER><!-- start video--><!-- end video--></CENTER>However, as stated in the 
association's notices, each petrol station operator would have the final say on 
whether or not to accept credit cards.<BR><BR>"While our members have agreed not 
to accept credit cards, there might be some who will accept them. But we hope 
all members will cooperate with us." </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/658A96F8-96F2-4F9F-8D00-372C1A250FBC/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
