1. pump >20litres when going in...then balance on the way out at opposite station.

2. if not allowed to pump within 50km. then bring extra 4/5 litres container. go 50km away, top up both tank n container. b4 custom, emptied container into tank. return with full tanks.

 

Pump at 50km mark, will at most need only 2 to 3 litre petrol to top up near custom.

 

Wasted 2 litres petrol, where to fill? My tank,haha.

 

Will need at most 3 litres container.

Hi all,

 

Good Day to everyone I just start work only...

Guys this is from Channel News Asia.

 

Malaysian to ban border fuel sales to foreigners.

 

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia will ban petrol stations on its borders with Thailand and Singapore from selling fuel to foreigners, in an attempt to contain the spiralling cost of subsidies, reports said on Tuesday.

 

"It's the question of principle because you are talking about taxpayers' money, and taxpayers' money being used to subsidise petrol for those not entitled to receive the subsidy," said Deputy Prime Minister Najib Razak.

 

"Our level of subsidy is very high," he told a press conference.

 

Domestic Trade Shahrir Samad said the ban on sales to foreign vehicles would be enforced from Friday and remain in place until the government unveils a new mechanism for selling subsidised fuel to the public.

 

"This move is a stern act by the government to reduce the leak in subsidies that involves high costs and which should actually be enjoyed by the lower-income group in the country," he told the official Bernama news agency.

 

The ban affects up to 300 petrol stations, and extends up to 50 kilometres from the border in the northern states of Perlis, Kedah, Perak and Kelantan; and Johor in the south which faces Singapore.

 

The move comes as the government conducts a controversial review of its fuel subsidies, expected to cost 43 billion ringgit (13.6 billion US dollars) this year if oil prices hover around 120 US dollars per barrel.

 

Malaysia heavily subsidises petrol, diesel and gas as well as 21 food items but rising global prices and controls have triggered severe shortages, as well as smuggling across its porous borders and long coastline.

 

Singaporeans often make day trips across the causeway linking the island state to Malaysia to fill their petrol tanks and buy groceries, which are cheaper there.

 

Despite the urgent need to lower the subsidy bill, the government is braced for a public backlash over any further increase in a country where public transport is weak and many people are dependent on their cars.

 

The ruling coalition suffered its worst ever result in March 8 elections, losing five states and a third of parliamentary seats in a setback partly credited to anger over high prices of food and fuel.

Haiz... trying to look on the bright side of things.

The thieves now got less foreign vehicles to target so they target their own countrymen, making their law enforment personnel have more work to do hence the need to hire more kopi liu ppl.

Their superb law enforcement personnel also got less Kopi $ to get from all the visitors so they also kop from their fellow countrymen.

And lastly, *drumroll* the current account deficit since there will be less inflow of $ into the country.

Rebuilding my dreams. But first, the gears

2) WP riding pants

3) Titanium riding gloves

7) The BIKE of course! :cheeky:

Border towns: No petrol sales to foreign "cars"

 

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.”

 

He said petrol station owners had not been consulted about the matter.
