i oso went in around 10+ jam to JB CIQ. from there i head to SHELL to fill up to 20L, however after the 20 L. my tank still can pump somemore, therefore i ask the attendant young chap to reset and let me pump again! haha

guess what, i pump 2 x of 20 l to fill up my tank. haha

 

no one check oso. not only i'm alone, beside me got one 320 Merc oso filled up to neck.

I can't imagine the Malaysia government actually come up with such a brilliant idea. It is SOOOO unbreakable. Who are they going to deter?

================

 

I think this whole episode is just the politicians trying to gain some political points with the local under-norished population. maybe some kind of elections r around the corner.

 

They know these under-privilidged like to see Sporeans get bashed cos they r really quite jealous of us in our shiny new cars n lots of RM to spend.

 

Ministers know very well the rule wil not b enforced so no real harm done & everybody is happy in the end.

Aren't most rules breakable in singapore too? Just like no selling cigarette or liquor to under 18 in singapore. Do you actually think Singapore going to put an enforcer in every minimart, NTUC, 7/11 when they thought of this rule?

 

The MY Government don't need to fully enforce the rule, just catch a few to be scapegoat and publicize it with details of the the penalty they are receiving to deter rest.

So many threads on this same topic! But yeah, same experience for me when I was there last week to service my car. Pumped 20L upon entering the country, and another 10L or so on the way out. I do not regularly pump JB petrol, most of the time, I go there for their car workshops, scrapyards and the occasional makan/shopping spree. Still, I find there's such an easy way around that silly 20L rule!

 

Maybe it isn't silly afterall! Maybe it's something that they planned all along! A hidden agenda behind every policy...hmmm...think I've been watching too much Zeitgeist!

Bro, never read the news ar? The petrol restriction DOES NOT APPLY TO SG CARS but the kisoks in JB KIASI...

 

Just apply first while wait LONG LONG for confirmation from Boleh government to confirm...

 

Anyway, there are so many different petrol kisoks near to each other in jb.. jst pump first when go in and later pump again when leaving JB loh... Confirm full tank one.

The rule is to deter Thailand from driving into Ipoh and buying in bulk. But since SG nicer to bully....so put spot light on SG lor. Anyway....3/4 tank....most cars would not exceed 20L. Only those who large 60~80L conti cars like Merc or BMW would not be enuff. Then again...what is stopping them from petrol station hopping to get their tanks filled ?

 

In order for this to work, they have to check every car leaving M'sia....but since SG cars go in with 3/4 tank...its a redundant move to check SG cars. So they say SG cars exempted from the check. They will still enforce the 20L cos they also dun wanna offend Thailand by picking just on Thai cars.

 

The fine for petrol station operators is RM250,000 and RM10,000 for motorist caught. Just another reason for the enforcement officers to get extra pocket money IMHO.... :D :D

Confirm apply to Singapore cars.

 

I saw the official letter pasted in the kiosk which I went to. It was written in Malay by some Msian gov. officer. It stated that it applies to all FOREIGN registered vehicles. Both petrol and diesel limited to 20L within 50km raidus from the border. This rule starts on the 16th Dec 2009.

 

You can try to break the rule by asking the attendent to pump more or whatever, but IMO, not worth it. Who knows if the attendent may turn around and blackmail you instead and ask for another $100 to shut his mouth? In Msia anything goes.
