Fuel ban in JB

[BoThug88]

''At present, Shahrir said too many foreign-registered cars, particularly those from neighbouring countries, had been crossing into Malaysia to take advantage of the lower fuel and diesel prices.''

what to do, unless ask Sg Government to subsidies for petrol too, which i think is not posible.

so any one stil goin track ??

headache

[super_marvel]

gentlemen... i kept reading you guys mentioning PG. paiseh for my limited knowledge, but what's PG?

 

then secondly, i applaud the Malaysian Goverment (MG) for making the subsidized fuel drastically exclusive for their own nation's people. this is something which our goverment is a little bit hesitant to do.

 

The idea is good. The implementation, unfortunate, is simply child's play. A significant percentage of Johor residents are of Malaysian nationality but Singaporean PR status. They work in Singapore and drive Singapore-registered vehicles here because under the PR regulation, they aren't allowed to drive Malaysia registered cars here. These group of people are the most "kenna-ed" by their own government - they now can't pump at their homeland, and can only pump at our country at SGD$2.00+++ (RM4.60) per liter. The MG is simply not using their brains.

 

Correct me if i'm wrong, but I believe the MG's original intention is to implement the MyKad system as they believe this system is the fairest to all their own citizens. This has been stressed a lot of times in the news. But out of nowhere, they suddenly implement the ban on foreign-registered vehicles shows that this act is not an action against rising subsidized fuel costs. Rather, it might be an act of retaliation against a recent event.

PG is a race track aka pasir gudang

[xjrredbull]

This is not amusing at all. I can't laugh it off either. I hope at PG they have alternative plans for SG bikers to pump petrol for Track Days etc.

I cant applaud them either for making such drastic moves.

My hearts goes out to invidiuals making their living here & the ban will hit them hardest...

Look like SG petrol from this week on again....

time to improvise my number plate. Buy a "W" or "P" letter and make the last letter of my plate removable.

When the new rule gets into effects this FRIDAY, I urge all Singapore riders here to refrain from pumping petrol at JB unless u are willing to pay the UNSUBSIDIZED petrol prices which is also equal to Singapore SHELL 92 rate. I

Any foreign vehicles caught pumping petrol will face a fine or jail sentence and your vehicle will most probably at the mercy of our Malaysian authorities.

As a rider, I am too affected as my work distance is very far. I have no choice but to pump petrol in Singapore and endure till Malaysia government decide on an idea that favors us again.

By implementing such a rule, Malaysia government also suffer as in the lack of business and trades.

 

Malaysia Johor economy needs Singapore buying power and its a matter of time that they will have to lick what they just split.

i guess they jus dont wanna waste the money to install additonal card readers at stn so as to verify the myKAD, either tht or they might have pushed the cost to the respective petrol companies and many of them have rejected as its not their problem

[RedGixxer688]

Haiz .... I am just starting to want to go to PG and now this new ruling. But the consensus amongst bikers that go to PG is very clear i think. We dun mind paying "unsubsidised rates" as long as we can get petrol for our hobby rite?

 

But then again, anyone knows how much the "unsubsidised rates" are per litre? A Malaysian colleague said it was around RM7. Dunno whether correct or not.

[GTboy]

i dun understand y they came out with this stupid idea??????

cant they like...open up 2 or 3 lanes at a petrol kiosk jus only for foreigners??? where the rate is unsubsidized??? y must make dis stupid 50km radius??? they r not jus stopping people from taking advantage of their cheaper fuel(which i think is ok to take action, coz its meant for their people wat), BUT they r also creating problems for other kinda users, like us who go to track. Isnt it pain in the *** not able to pump petrol nearby PG???? our fuel wont be enough to whack the whole 2 3 hours of our track session, with a fuel tank full FROM SG!!!!! n also to whose who hav houses at JB. they hav to travel 50km away, or go back SG jus to top up petrol????? Wat sia?????

 

Haiyo!!! Anyway anyone has any info if the officials at PG has anything to say?????????? I'm sure they r aware it will be a problem for SG bikers going to PG.

[shitson_rico]

walauwei.. jz got my bike n now dis.. suay liao... wat to do.. pump sg oil la... sigh..

[Fubar]

this petrol ban is definately going to be a problem for track goers...i'm planing a trip next friday..sheesh..my bike tank only 10litres..how to tahan back and forth? geez..is there any kind soul here who are willing to call up PG track operators and ask if they have any way of going round this system? perhaps they can sell fuel there? anyone?

[gladiat0r]

this sucks!!!! time to get cubs and race in tuas la...

[gladiat0r]

OK we need someone here who goes to PG after monday to report if can still pump at the shell near PG. This is what i think every bloke here wants to hear, whether can or cannot. if cannot is PG taking any action of selling petrol for thier track users. Price is certainly not an issue with us trakies i guess, more importtantly, is there petrol available.

 

Cos if really got to go up to PG and back on one tank of petrol, i think forget trackdays. Max can do a 30 min hard run on PG track before heading back to SG if you dont want to risk running out of petrol on JB Roads, especially 2nd link highway. Knowing that you bike is about $20000 you wont want to leave it alone by the road side.

 

yes yes im waiting for this answer too..

[D_Lufy]

think its 50km radius that they "ban" us from refuelling our tank

[GTboy]

50KM bro.......PG is definitely less den dat
