The ministry of domestic trade and consumer affairs (KPDNHEP) has conducted checks at various petrol stations around Johor Bahru after photos of vehicles with Singaporean registration plates filling up on RON 95 petrol went viral on social media.
This is an issue because foreign-registered vehicles are prohibited from buying RON 95, which is heavily subsidised by the Malaysian government – this ban has been in place since August 1, 2010.
According to KPDNHEP, its officers have inspected over 40 petrol stations since yesterday, including those along Jalan Tebrau heading towards Jalan Pandan, along Jalan Tun Razak heading towards Jalan Skudai, along Jalan Lingkaran Dalam, Jalan Tampoi, Senai and Kulai.
The ministry is reminding employees at petrol stations not to sell RON 95 to owners of foreign-registered vehicles and has reprimanded owners of such vehicles caught buying RON 95. It added that stern action will be taken against petrol station owners who fail to monitor the misuse of RON 95 in accordance with the law.
KPDNHEP is also calling upon the public to provide information like photos and the location of petrol stations if they come across foreign-registered vehicles filling up on RON 95. Complaints can be channeled through KPDNHEP’s e-complaint platform, WhatsApp at 019-2794317 or toll-free hotline 1-800-886-800.
Currently. RON 95 is priced at RM2.05 per litre, while RON 97, which isn’t subsidised and can be purchased by owners of foreign-registered vehicles, retails at RM3.91 per litre. In Singapore, RON 95 is sold at around SGD3 (RM9.32) per litre, and RON 98 is at around SGD3.47 (RM10.78) per litre.

Saman them SGD $300 on their way back across the Causeway. Simple.
Since pumps are now accepting payment cards via contactless payment (which I assume is RFID based), is it that hard to implement additional verification with MyKad to unlock RON95 for Malaysians?
Meaning we rakyat are forced to abuse our Mykad every time we pump petrol until condemn just to please Sinkie kurang ajar recalcitrants for trying to steal our petrol? Why should we go thru all these trouble.
Just catch them and fine them and if they repeat, ban them for coming into Malaysia will teach them a lesson that Sinkie high class education failed to teach.
Because:
– many drivers of Singapore cars are Malaysians, of course they also have MyKad
– no company wants to pay for such a function on those terminals
– the previous governments decided not to do it in the backend (these politicians are good at counting votes, but are junk in counting other things)
– …..
Utter failure of PAP/DAP gomen for not educating their kind to obey laws and not taking advantage of B40s.
Utter failure of current government not enforcing the laws they set, thereby not defending the B40’s and allowing others to take advantage.
Enforcement comes when education failed. SG education has failed to teach them right from wrong.
This has nothing to do with balls, only Sinkie failed education system at teaching their generations it is okay to steal.
Copy paste: “What can Malaysia gomen do? Tell SG Education minister how to teach their citizen not to curi? Maybe if UMNO ran SG, their citizen won’t so easy tempted to come and curi with impunity.”
I wonder how quick can they take action if the public reports it coz the moment they read our report the SG owner would have already return to the island safe and sound.
If Sinkie Gomen want to properly educate their citizen, it easily done, just as they enforce 3/4 full leaving island, they can enforce 3/4 empty on the way back or else fine them and return the monies back to Malaysia. This is fair to both countries.
It is simple, bribe the MY cops with SGD.
Another proof of failed SG education… when they are taught that bribery and corruption is okay. Now we know why 1MDB money went to SG.
Government should remove fuel subsidized and implement high fuel tax
Very obvious u don’t have a car..
How?Borrow Ajibkor ‘s IMDB tainted handphone to see the offence ?There must be a mechanism,to inform our border dudes so that those b astards are fined maximum No point fine the Bangla infested petrol kiosk one million RM..the operator will be bankrupted …with a few of these sporeans
When the rich takes advantage of subsidies meant for the poor. Scummy attitude coming from a scummy nation.
private uni foreign student driving a rental car at msia always pumps ron95 is already a loophole within the system.
Baru ka buka mata
Dah 2+ tahun tutup border memang tak nampak.
Dulu jauh di mata dekat di hati. Sekarang border open, dekat di mata, sakit di hati.

Block all foreign credit card/payment usage at pump. Must pay inside & get the workers to alert the owner’s SGD330k fine is waiting for them if they pump Ron95.
Just include the surcharge for a full tank of ron95 when they cross border. Then no need waste time and resources to monitor this.
That guy at the bottom driving the Estima is so kiasu, he must be turning off his air-cond while driving resulting to his whole yellow T-Shirt also wet.
He is sweating because he is scared get caught pumping RON95
