After several social media alerts and efforts by Singaporean netizens to call out Singaporean drivers who are unlawfully filling their cars with RON95 in Johor, things are getting tougher.
Besides a hefty fine of $640,000 fines to pump operators who sell RON95 fuel to Singapore or foreign cars, petrol operators in JB are stepping up efforts to prevent foreign cars from pumping government-subsided petrol.
According to Malaysian news site The Star, one of these initiatives includes stationing fuel station staff at the pump to monitor foreign-registered vehicles as they fill up their tanks while Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry personnel are also patrolling petrol stations in Johor Bahru.
