We have conducted specific programs in selected schools and universities, particularly in areas with high rates of road accidents and fatalities, to foster a more caring and responsible attitude among new drivers and riders.”

“At the same time, we are also establishing a strategic partnership with PDRM in the Go-To-Safety-Point (GTSP) Program, which has designated Petron stations as safe points for all customers and local communities in times of emergency.

“We hope today’s program serves as a reminder for everyone to remain vigilant and drive responsibly, especially as Hari Raya approaches,” she further stated.

Petron is also collaborating with strategic partners such as Carro and Rider Gate to offer free car and motorcycle inspections.

Gramp’s Asia is providing samples of fresh-scented botanical car sprays to raise awareness of micro-sleep, while IGL Coatings is supplying products for car windshields to enhance visibility and reduce eye fatigue.

Customers can also receive samples of coffee and roselle products from NesQ.

Since 2013, Petron stations have served as community assistance centers through the GSTP program, and in 2024, 54 Petron station operators were recognized by PDRM for their outstanding contributions.
