Groups in Johor Baru are calling for the Malaysian government to step up enforcement of existing laws for curbing the unauthorised sale of RON95 petrol, instead of introducing new policies, The Star has reported.
The introduction of new programmes with unclear mechanisms would be “troublesome” and might confuse the public, said Johor Baru Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry president Low Kueck Shin.
“Those in south Johor, especially Johor Baru, are aware that foreign-registered vehicles are not allowed to pump RON95 petrol, which is subsidised by the government for Malaysians. Foreign-registered vehicles including those from Singapore can only purchase petrol such as RON97,” Low said.
“We find it unnecessary to set up an unsubsidised RON95 petrol station. It is better for the government agencies to beef up enforcement to catch those who go against the law by purchasing subsidised fuel,” Low continued, adding that the law for this has been put in place for many years, and petrol station operators, kiosk attendants and even consumers are alert and vigilant on the matter.
According to Malaysia Tour Guides Council president Jimmy Leong, the government’s proposal to set up unsubsidised petrol stations will have only a minimal effect on tourism in Johor.
“Tourists drive into Johor for leisurely activities and pumping petrol is only a small part of their trip; they usually fill up their tanks before heading back to Singapore at night,” said Leong. Foreign-registered vehicles have gone viral on several occasions for refuelling with RON95, when by law foreign-registered vehicles are only allowed to use RON97 petrol.
Unsubsidised fuels have been on sale in Malaysia from February this year in the northern state of Perlis which borders Thailand, at two specialised stations in Padang Besar and Wang Kelian where RON95 is sold at RM3.22 per litre and diesel is sold at RM3.45 per litre.
At present, subsidised fuel prices see RON95 petrol sold in Malaysia at RM2.05 per litre and RM2.15 per litre for Euro 5 B10 and B20 grades of diesel, and RM2.35 per litre for Euro 5 B7.

what about vehicles from THAILAND?
Don’t worry about the Thais. Have you seen a picture or video of Thais pumping 95? Probably one in a thousand. They’re more civilized than these so-called residents of first world country.
True. This is very true. The people from Thailand has so much more respect for another country’s law. Salute
Sure or not? Some of them would ride over to Johor on their bigger more powerful bikes & taunt or mock the locals who ride on kapchais.
most singaporeans rent the superbikes. they cannot afford to own. at least our people own our kapcais
I don’t think they would necessarily need to use superbikes as long as they have something more powerful. They would not also care whether our locals own kapchais or not because their purpose is to have some ‘fun’ with the locals.
I was earlier replying to a comment by somebody using the name ‘hazri’ but it appears that the website admin people have removed it.
Malay Singapore. Why need mentioned race ?
Come on . Leave out the race factor . We are all in this together ,Malay ,Chinese ,Indian ..and we resent these cocky southern neighbours
Foreigners are not pumping RON95. Tell PM Anwar to stop subsidising RON97 with the unchanged pricing since Nov 2023!
Ha ha ha ha ha ha
I don’t know about the unchanged pricing since November 2023 because for me it is still June 2023 right now. Did you time travel from the future?

Mungkin ‘jangan jadi bodoh’ bukan nasihat yg baik utk si-‘angry voters’ krn dia silap menulis ‘unchanged pricing since Nov 2023’ dlm komennya bila skrg masih lagi bulan Jun 2023. Jika dia tidak dapat melepaskan perasaan marahnya, dia akan lebih cenderung kpd membuat kesilapan. Sama ada dia akan mengaku kesilapannya, entahlah..
If your petrol price too high we don’t come only so see who beg who later
Don’t worry. Soon our government will abolish fuel subsidy and use that extra money to help rakyat. Tax the rich, help the poor!
Government and law enforcers won’t do anything. Rakyats should take this matter themselves by beating the craps out of the SingaPOOreans who pumps Ron95.
This is why need to jail ppl like you. Takes matters into own hand and resorts to violent. At the end justify also.
should beat the lazy malaysian law enforcers
Lazy buggers would just like to push all responsibility to the government.
government enact law then expect petrol station to enforce said law? who is the lazy bugger here?
Dear Low Kueck Shin and Jimmy Leong, which side are you in? Malaysia or Singapore. They didn’t just come in for tour. You must be talking in your dreams. They come in every hour to enjoy our subsidise and that is the reason for the every hour jam.

Lame move,
Why USA, Japan, Singapore don’t adopt this silly wasting money scheme?
Waste money instead of save money.
Just confiscate their car if caught pumping Ron95
as your name implies, you are a sohai.
if you confiscate other people property for such reasons, you’ll be in deep lawsuit.
So are you saying that stealing no prob?
Not unless they enact laws that make such confiscation lawful. LOL
Just push the petrol station operators to pay back the subsidy. Done. They will figure this out.
Sepatutnya kerajaan mengenakan cas bahan api semasa kenderaan masuk ke malaysia bukan di stesyen minyak,cari kadar yg sesuai dan biar imegresen yg kutip cas minyak tu.
Use rate/hour. Settle. Kata kaya sgt, ni lah masa nya kita take advantage pulak.
Lari lampu merah by Panda cannot enforced.
What the “group” afraid is no more SG customer come and pump at their stations and these station owners will lose their cash cow, so it is more of a self-interest debate here.
station a SINGAPORE cop at all petrol stations within 100km radius of Causeway on rotating shifts as a deterrant. Local cops depa x takut
Enforce new law like Tampar on the spot if caught. 2nd times will tampar with selipar jepun. 3rd time drink that petrol.
Surely no sohai will repeat that.
If S’pore can come with strange law like no chewing gums, so we can also come with that new law.
might as well replace our politicians with Singaporean ones. guaranteed sgd-myr 1-1
what kind of stupidity is this? just employ few guys working in shifts and make sure that foreigners dont fill up subsidised fuels. Supply them with guns and tasers if necessary
I like that idea. Da lama sgt dorg nih, makin naik lemak pulak.
Enforcement means govt agency personnel need to do work. Good luck la. Speeding fines also cannot block SG cars exit from Malaysia until fine paid. This one lagi la siapa mau kejar.
Petrol station operators also should be fined. It’s not like they can’t restrict all the pumps so that credit card transactions only work for RON 97 or if they come to pay at the counter and the vehicle is observed to be SG registered, then only RON 97 la. All stations full of CCTV as if they cannot see. If you got a MY registered car then no problem approve the pump to allow RON 95 purchase. None of this is rocket science but as usual all lazy la.
Fine also has to hurt Singaporeans la eg minimum RM 1000 or more. Petrol station RM 10000 or more. Sure got behaviour change.
Brother, ada udang sebalik mee… Hehehe…
Memang betul la bro…this country always got udang, just colour only different…got blue, got red, got green…who knows what other colour will have in the future.
If you look at viralled video of the incident, I was flabergasted by the stupidity of the “polis bantuan”. Instead of catching or reprimanding the Singaporean motorist who were red handed they shooed the Grab Driver away.. So stupid..The Singaporean did even took out a metal rod and threatened the Grab Person.. This is sovsickening and unfair.
If the polis bantuan not ‘helping’ the singaporean, later they get ‘gantung tugas’. Just like the grab, after all those people wanna boycott, then grab ‘sambung semula’ that rider.
Malaysian logic are like this :
Saksi nampak pencuri, gi report.
Cuba teka sape yg kena?
We need to do like prize pool for ‘tegur-ing’ that s’porean, payment will be made thru crypto. But with video as proving you’re on the right side lah.
I’m willing to give contribution for this type of unsung hero.
Aiyoh Just a very simple method for Singaporeans to fill petrol using credit card only(No Cash) wherby the pump can detect non Malaysian credit cards which can be tracked easily. We are now living in the 21st Century and technology can settle all the problems.
Don’t be stupid. Many malaysian who work at sg using sg credit card in Malaysia too. Otak letak kat tut.
Most sinkies are arrogant and condescending and just don’t have respect for Malaysian laws. They think everything here can be “bought”. However they don’t have the balls to do that in Thailand and Vietnam.
You know why? Because Malaysian so weak (in many aspects). And our f’kin law also favouring them. So how?
Peppa pig disusukan, anak sendiri mati kelaparan.
Truth always hurt.
We need to fully utilised the MyKad…what’s the point of having a microchip identification card when its not fully utilized for the benefits of only Malaysian..
most singaporeans rent the superbikes. they cannot afford to own. at least our people own our kapcais
set up certain pump bays to have ron97 only, any sg cars caught in mix ron95 97 pumps be directed immediately by attendant, ez to identify before they campur2 among my cars
Petrol kiosks relying only on RON97 sales? Will close shop the very next day. What about foreign cars travelling far, opening up more RON97 kiosks in other towns too, day every 300 kms?
Show IC..before make payment at counter, insert IC in auto kiosk before using credit card , size of IC may not same as Sngaporeans, machine will auto reject the Foreign credit card / IC
It is not about foreigner but foreign cars. Even Malaysians driving foreign cars are not eligible for RON95. So, keep you IC idea and think only about foreign registered cars
Show IC..before make payment at counter, insert IC in auto kiosk before using credit card , machine will auto reject the Foreign credit card / IC
Nah.. They wont listen, they cant understand Malaysian english, maybe they also dont have internet to know there is such of rules in msia.
