If it's status quo, then I don't think it make a diff for most people. The pump prices are now non-unsubsidized thru-out the country.

 

But the foreigner fuel are taxed, then it will be a big news for most s'porean, even those on holiday.

malaysia pump prices are still subsidised . 2.7 that we are paying now is subsidised 30 sen. so non subsidised is 3 bucks.

[Silver_blade]

Even at RM3, I don't think it will make a big diff for most people....cos s'pore fuel still cost a lot more.

[S4vtec]

yeah . crazy jams at causeway..... damn..

[Kwchan]

but how much can u save when u can only top up 1/4 tank?

 

not forget the time, wear and tear..

 

stuck in jam and the extra mileage means must change oil and go for servicing more often

[macrosszero]

I agree. But many are penny wise pound foolish. Only see short term petty gains.

[Cheekg98]

even at market rate, will be much cheaper than in singapore ...

[Newsman]

Going to JB is more than cheap Fuel!

 

Makan Chendol, Mee Rebus, KFC, Spacious Shopping Mall, WaterFall, visit friends, Car servicing & also the bumpy ride on e Road.....etc

[Silver_blade]

Don't know. I guess the saving must be substantial for people to want to buy petrol in M'sia.

 

I suppose it make sense for those who stay near the causeway. The distance from their house to JB could be as little as 8km....which is just a bit more than what some people travel from their home to the nearest petrol kiosk.

 

As for jam, from what I see in MCF, some time the entry/exit well and experience little or no jam.

I think it would be naive to think that the jams are due to petrol prices.

 

There are many workers and trades going on between the two countries which accounts for the majority of the jams.

 

 

This move is basically not solving the problem. The problem with petrol is with the thai borders and not the Sg border. I feel that any regulations will be hard to implement at the Thai borders.

[Ccssgm]

Those malaysian driving Sg plate will be affected

[Typhoonz]

Would only be worthwhile for those staying near the causeway...

[Woolff]

So malaysian working here so ask for pay rise maybe same/more than a singaporean.
