KUALA LUMPUR: Petrol stations located in border states like Johor and Perlis will be barred from selling petrol and diesel to foreign-registered cars starting Friday.

 

Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Shahrir Samad said the move, aimed at plugging loopholes in the current subsidy system, was decided during an anti-inflation committee meeting yesterday.

 

The ban will involve between 200 and 300 petrol stations in Kedah, Kelantan, Perlis, Perak and the Johor Baru and Kulai areas in Johor.

 

Currently, petrol stations are not allowed to sell more then 20 litres of petrol to foreign vehicles.

 

“This move is temporary until we come up with better management of our subsidy system,” he told reporters.

 

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.

 

“I have been instructed to use my power under the Control of Supply Act to direct and ban the sale of subsidised fuel to these foreign cars. This applies to petrol stations located as far as 50km from the border,” he said.

 

Besides the northern states and the Johor Baru and Kulai areas of Johor, Shahrir said he was also studying if the ban should include petrol stations in Pontian.

 

He said the petrol stations would be notified by the ministry to adhere to the move.

 

Shahrir said that besides putting up signboards informing motorists of this new ruling, enforcement officers would also be stationed at the petrol stations to ensure businesses complied with the ruling.

 

“I will inform my officers about this latest decision and it will take effect by Friday or the latest Monday,” he said.

 

Shahrir said those caught flouting the ruling could be fined up to RM250,000.

 

However, he said foreign-registered vehicles which entered the country for tourism purposes could still fill up their tanks in places like Penang and Malacca where the ban would not apply.

 

“They should enter the country with full tanks and they have to plan their journey,” he said.

 

In Johor Baru, petrol station owners and managers were shocked with the announcement.

 

Petrol dealer Andy Wong said such a decision had huge implications on petrol station owners as a large number of stations situated near the Causeway depended heavily on their Singaporean clientele.

 

“If it is within 50km, then the whole of Johor Baru is affected,” he said when met at his station last night.

 

Other petrol station owners said they were awaiting more information.

 

One petrol station manager, whose station services hundreds of Singapore-registered vehicles daily, said: “So far, talks have only been about petrol subsidies. This has never been spoken about.”

I just received my handlebar risers which i bought off e-bay.Hopefully it will help ease my aching wrists problem.

[angkuguay]

Bro, there could be a few reasons for your arms turning numb but I'm quite sure rear sets would not solve your problems. Up til now, I'm still trying to find aftermarket rear sets that is lower and forward compared to the stock rearsets for better comfort. But so far I've seen only racing rear sets that pushes your knees higher and back, forcing you to lean more weight on your arms.

 

You can try to look for handlebar risers, change your grips (BMW grips helped, I know because I'm using them) or change your riding style. What I mean is that I've realised that if I'm travelling at 6th gear, 3500RPM, I get this very irritating vibration on the bars. So I now ride at a higher RPM but lower gearing. Hope it helps!

i know .. but this is temp onli so cross finger that they chg to onli cars..

 

They feel that too much fuel subsidies going towards foreign cars so they ban us from pumping. What is the end result? Less people go in for day trips, shopping, entertainment. Then what happens? Their business in JB affected. Then what happens? Their economy suffers. Then what happens? More people out of jobs. Then what happens? More might turn to crime. Then what happens? Their police gets overwhelmed and internally got problem because no more Singaporean to give 'allowance'. Then what happens? The crime rate goes even higher.Then what happens? They start blaming us because if we did not win Pedra Branca, they would not be angry and ban us from pumping there and their economy would not suffer thus resulting in higher crime rates!

 

You think it won't happen? Malaysia... truly ASIA!!!!

tish is the expert in the fan mod.

thanks so much for the advise and recommendation. i'll bug tRish for it.

Hey dude, a gentle reminder: remember that it is tRish and not tish.

[HYB80Y]

yeah!!! no more cars to jam the causeway can open more bike lanes then bike wont jam also...

 

hopefully the rule chg to ban on cars onli then bikes still can pump..

 

i think for bikes it is still not affected. as stated, they will only restrict foreign vehicles to pump up to 20litres of petrol. so for us, it should be fine.

[HYB80Y]

u manage to go pg yesterday with kelly?

 

sadly, no. i was ill with fever. sigh.... i was so itchy for some fun but.... i blame it on too much chocolate fondue while having a buffet on Saturday at Oriental Melt.
