The topic states that MyKad will be the primary self-indicator when buying fuel. Which is still plausible. At least it will make it harder for non-Malaysians to access our subsidized fuel. Implement it first “Big G” and see the feedback. At least something is improving.

Racist Comment: Is it subsidised for Malays & Bumiputra’s only ?
(you ask question first…)
No offence but it’s the fact.
(then you answer it by yourself, fool!)

It turns out you’re the racist screwing with the topic. The topic is set as “Subsidised Petrol Only for Malaysians”. It stated there; M-a-l-a-y-s-i-a-n. Unless you’re an immigrant over-staying in Malaysia. For you to judge the rest of the topic with heresay “No offence but it’s the fact” means you’re a confirmed racist without giving any solid reasoning for doing so. So, stick with the topic punk! For your knowledge, the Bumiputra system has its reasons to be implemented in the first place (and I don’t need to re-explain to ignorant like you) and still open for debate for the past 50 years. Bit-by-bit (as agreed politically or rather pressured politically) that this system will be totally dismantle the earliest in 2020. Few good examples of Bumiputra system is being removed step-by-step is the allowance of non-bumi students to join MRSM-Mara, long distance study at UiTM-Mara in which Mara have sent non-bumi students to overseas and almost 50% lecturers at UiTM are chinese and indians graduates and the list goes on with other sectors. Malaysians still have that give-and-take attitude and I must say Malaysian Bumiputera knowadays are sacrificing more of their rights to their non-bumi counterparts. The idea of totally dismantling Bumi system will be carried on that’s for sure. I for myself agree that Bumi system should be abolished but it should be done responsibly. But, I can’t stand watching some impatience people who thinks changes all could be done in just one day. You’re the kinda people that loves to talk-cheap but never actually a problem solver.

Owh yeah, I’ve been to Johor couple of times, the Singaporean plates is still easily identified by me. I can easily differentiate it even though I’m not a Sabahan. Plus, banning foreign car license plate against subsidized fuel is secondary. The

i agree, surely there will be some loop hole somewhere like maybe kiosks would not give a damn whether foreigner or no foreigner would buy fuel from them.After all, its not like they would earn more from not letting foreigners buying sibsidized fuel.OR maybe some foreigner simply borrow MyKad from their local friends to refuel.

but then again, if this prevents subsidies from decreasing, then I’m all for it whether i like it or not.ever since the fuel prices increased, my wallet has been smoking like hell. Years ago, when I filled RM40 worth of petrol, my Wira had full stomach.Now?The needle won’t even reach the half-mark of my gauge.

you would need a lifetime of savings (buying subsizdized petrol) to match that amount.

Political Comment: As long it’s subsidised then we’ll vote for BN or else….

No offence but it’s the fact.

It takes time to enhance the system to reduce ‘oil theft’ and purely benefit to eligble Malaysian. It’s good move/change at least, with using of MyKad they could build up the database and keep tracking of petrol usage of each individual.

P/S Transformer, yr ‘ink’ idea not practical at all.

rakyat had to show I/C to attendant, then attendant would mark that inedible-ink on Middle finger…
Each Rakyat would be allocated one time fuel subsidise fuel purchase
isn’t that inedible-ink would stay 7days only…. After that ink gone then can buy again…

Its time to change…

“Sabahan’s license plate is marked in Black-Colour as opposed to Singaporean plate which is marked in Yellow-Colour”

Are u in KK? Obviously you have never stepped into Johor/SG.

Automated card readers, a joke, using someone else’s credit card is already simple, using someone else’s IC would be even easier. And like those kampung petrol stands can afford to have automated anything.

And manual verification by the gas jockeys? Really expect each and every one of them to be able to verify a real IC and match picture to the person? Like they will care so much. Not to mention plenty of places will either “close one eye” or adopt a “tidak apa” attitude to either get more business or work faster. And if not, a couple ringgit “tip” could probably get your Tesco Club Card recognized as a valid IC lol.

And considering that number plates in this country can be made by any accessory shop/workshop/homemade method, i somehow doubt that using them as a guide will be too effective.

Nevermind that the biggest leaks in subsidized petrol aren’t aunty and uncle from singapore on a day trip but MALAYSIAN professional smugglers (who’ve got ICs! and don’t pay income tax either ha)

Want to get rid of any problems, ditch the subsidy and car/spares taxes in one go. No subsidized petrol, no smuggling, no long-term crisis. More than offset by the savings in car purchase and maintenance costs.

Pretty obvious this announcement is just more empty talk to distract people from more pressing issues.

This could cause cashflow hardships for people though so rebate payment would have to be fast & easy to access.

Then do a review,anyway people always know to talk only. It’s now time to do work..

I have to applause the government for finally taking this drastic measure to curb “oil theft” which is occurring right under our noses! I can’t just imagine a non-Malaysian laughing-out-loud because being able to buy subsidized oil but also “siphon” some of it for their own local market supply (just like what is happening along the Semenanjung-Thailand and Sarawak-Sabah-Kalimantan borders). Not to mention, some of them drive their vehicles like craze at our highways!

I’ll be damned knowing our tax-payers money is used for their own illegal benefits. I’m sure Malaysia have no ill-intention to our neighbouring countries, but they must accept the facts that our subsidized oil is meant for Malaysians only. If foreigners still wants subsidized oil, its either they applied to be a Malaysian or they can go home to to their own country and ask their own government to subsidized oil as well! I hope the government could come out with a proper way to implement this system, maybe for starters, all oil users will need to use MyKad to verify their nationality (although as debated above, this system is prone to abuse but its the cheapest and fastest way so far). It’s better to have this system implement right away while the government thinks of other better alternatives because oil theft is rampant at this very moment.

On the other hand, how about residents with PR status or expatriate which have been working in Malaysia for many years? How about foreign lorry drivers working for local firm? I know some expatriate whom have contributed a lot to our local economy and I think they should deserve some cut as well (but I leave this matter to the parliament guys to debate). Then again, I hope the government will not issues some kind of permit-card to this foreigner as this permits could be abused, faked and not to mention possible bribery to obtain this precious permit (you know what I mean). The government should think of better ways on how to differentiate foreign workers serving in Malaysian companies and foreign workers visiting Malaysia or tourists.

In the meantime, priorities should be given to Malaysians! Please implement the MyKad verification system first and upgrade the system later. At least we will able to reduce the number of “oil theft” drastically. I have to agree with one of the opinions up there; we should immediately put the ban on cars with foreign license plate such as Singapore (which starts with “S” but please bear in mind that Sabah’s license plate also starts with “S” but you still can differentiate this plate easily. Singapore’s license plate usually starts with “SDK, SDU” but Sabahan plates starts with “SAA, SAB and etc.” and plus Sabahan’s license plate is marked in Black-Colour as opposed to Singaporean plate which is marked in Yellow-Colour). Furthermore, if the car is a Singapore or Thai or Indonesia’s license plate, there’s a possibility that the driver of the car might use his Malaysian girlfriend’s MyKad to buy fuel. I’m bringing-up some of this issues so bloggers as well as Goverment could think of ways how to tackle this matter. I hope to hear more news about this issue!

And just go to Klang last week. There’s about 50 – 50 local vs INDON!..
So imagine then..

good luck!!!

which donkey brain is giving this idea?

Scrap this concept. Those jarheads thinks of the most dumb ideas.

However, these group of working ppl does not even paying a single cents of Income tax in msia! They, because are still being malaysia citizen, enjoying the high income (due to currency conversion) from s’pore but taking advantage of us, ppl working here paying income tax here, by buying subsidized petrol. They do not contribute to our country and society, but enjoy the same benefits we have. So this is a loop-hole that we must looking into. Though it is not easy under this scheme of presenting MyKad at petrol kiosk, yet they are driving s’pore registered car.
———————————————-
Obviously, u r naive and short-sighted. I am one of these ppl. Do you know why I do not need to pay income tax? You think LHDN so stupid? Without us, JB would be like, mmmm Seremban/KT? And most likely you are jobless now. Hehehe…

see, i can already think of a loophole. use my IC, pump fuel into his car.

and we know the attendents probably wont care either.

so, its back to square one i suppose?

How about applying un-subsidized petrol to all foreign registered car, be it from s’pore of thailand. Same rules must also applied to our controlled item such as sugar, cooking oil, flour and esp. rice! Go to any Giant supermarket and see those s’porean stockpiling these controlled items and you will feel the anger inside you.

Our govt subsidizing malaysian is a sound and fair matter because we pay income tax. But it is totally ridiculous if all these controlled items being sold to foreigners. Unless they are working in malaysia.

Phew, this is a very sensitive issue. Surely some opposition parties will have some thing to say in next few days. Hope they can come out with a different approach.

why can’t just sell many variations of fuel as other countries(USA for example) do? Sell RON92, RON 95, RON 97 and RON99 or more. subsidise more on lower octane and less or no subsidy on the higher octane.

What about biopetrol? there many companies that produce biodiesel but no biopetrol, is it because to expesive to make?
