The owner of the Singapore-registered Kia Sorento which mysteriously managed to refuel without paying at a fuel station in Bukit Indah, Johor Bahru has returned to pay for the fuel bill.
SG Road Vigilante posted an update on the case at 7:58 pm yesterday. According to the post, the station personnel had received RM70.60 for the previously unpaid diesel bill.
But the amount paid raises another question – if you divide RM70.60 by the current B7 diesel price of RM2.35 per litre, you get 30 litres of fuel.
This actually exceeds the quota of diesel allowed to be purchased by Singapore-registered vehicles at fuel stations within 25 km of the Malaysia-Singapore border gate.
We have covered this rule in a story earlier this month. The reason for this ruling is the same as why Singapore-registered vehicles cannot buy RON95 petrol – it is a subsidised item for Malaysia-registered vehicles only.
There are no restrictions on how much diesel a Singapore-registered vehicle can buy further than 25 km from the border, with the reasoning that it would need to use the fuel to travel up north, but if you check Google Maps, the Bukit Indah station is less than 25 km away so the 20 litre rule applies at that station.

Copy paste: “Ape benda la yg ko merepek ni”
Election must be near all these PH cyber troopers everywhere talking Sh”T !
Kiasu shall stay at kiasu land la. Come here act kiasu but actual fact pocket kosong only
The question is whether it is the customer’s fault for refueling more than 20 litres or the station’s fault for selling more than 20 litres. If customer genuinely does not know or pretend not to know, then it is the station’s responsibility to ensure compliance.
Ignorance is not an excuse.
Malaysians….. Do you support this kind of “nonsensical” rules? The next station is only about 1 km away. If you limit the purchase to 20 liters at this station, why can’t the car continue pumping at the next station?
Just like RON95 limited to Malaysians or Malaysian registered vehicles. Until today, you have not figured out which.
its limited to malaysian registered vehicles. everyone has figured it out from the beginning. you are the only one who are unclear about this. something must be wrong with your toilet newater.
Let me quote paultan :
“The reopening of the Malaysia-Singapore land border on April 1 saw no shortage of traffic heading into the country, and with it, plenty of reports of **Singaporean motorists** refuelling with RON 95 petrol at Malaysian fuel stations during the first week of the reopening.
This action is of course not allowed, as **foreign-registered vehicles** (including motorcycles) are prohibited from buying RON 95”
So, who is not clear? :) 1 paragraph says motorists (drivers I suppose). The next paragraph says vehicles.
awwww you poor poor boy… i can see what the high stress environment in singapore has done to you.
motorist = someone operating a car.
singaporean car = a car registered in singapore with singaporean plates.
singaporean motorist = a person operating a singaporean car.
borders are open now, go for a holiday. let that brain of yours cool down.
Malaysians: Burn that car with faiya!
u lucky we allowed u to refeul here, y rich country cant buy gas for their own people?, dont solicit sympathy from us? dont ask more
By the way, Bukit Indah is more commonly accessed through second link. According to Google Maps, the station is 26 km from Tuas CIQ through second link highway. So?
Of course, if you turn into coastal highway half way through, it is less than 25. If you come from causeway, it is even shorter.
But we don’t usually use the causeway, unless the origin/destination is near Woodlands, or there is no choice. And Singapore drivers may not know coastal highway well enough.
So to people who do not know the place well, it is more than 25 km from Singapore by road.
wah, use your logic, i can simply anyhow go round and round sesat here there and then claim its more than 25km, genius singaporean
Kiasu
Meaningless Singapore rule of <25km/20L cap.
3/4 Tank implementation before exit Singapore Rule is enough. This is enough that all drive to refuel to 90%-100% before exit to avoid jam-check fuel consumed.
Whatever additional refuel is due to consumption at Malaysia, supported Malaysia business, retail, and tourism, buy buy buy, eat eat eat.
#cuticuti Malaysia.
If the enforcer is doing his job, do you think this can happen. It the same at Bukit Kayu Hitem, why can thai people selling Malaysia RON95 at Thai road side? Dont blame the Thai for being wrong, why we “Harap Pagar, Pagar yang Makan Padi”.
Enforcement only comes when education fails, so that meant SG so called world class education has failed to teach their people the most simplest of basic human rules: do not steal. So easy to blame Malaysian enforcers for SG Education Ministry mistakes of not teaching their people well.
SG Education logic be like :
“Don’t steal among us”
SG Education logic be like :
“Don’t steal among us cuz honor amongst thieves, savy?”
Want to recover RM70 now potentially to be fined thousands lol
First of all, we have to acknowledge that the guy paid. Maybe he really did forget. Lets give him the benefit of the doubt and perhaps he was coming from further up north and had miscalculated how close he was to the city center.
Secondly, the previous article claims multiple reports of Singaporeans filling up with RON95. What proof do we have except for the few pictures of the same cars reposted multiple times. Most Singaporeans would rather fuel with a higher grade fuel. If they don’t then it pretty sad how cheapskate they are.
Finally a lot of posters here seem to think that Singaporeans only come into Malaysia just to “Steal” fuel despite the fact that they spend even more to spur the economy.
The amount of xenophobic comments here is laughable but also disappointing. And the fact that this website keeps posting these type of articles to evoke anger amongst the masses of idiots is also deeply disappointing.
at least he returned to pay.
Aiyaa..ekceli sg car can buy ron95 la..nobody is there to catch you..so come n buy ron95! Malaysia greatest product,make malaysian petrol pump towkey rich..ron95 ungeleke nalla rekek
