If they are tired of telling recalcitrant what not to do and impose the 20km radius rule again, you know who to blame. If you ask your guest to not wear slipper into your home yet they just trample in without giving you a single hoot how would you feel?

 

The rule of no 95 to foreign cars are because last time ppl borrow others IC to pump 95. Malaysian driving foreign registered cars also suffer because of this. Make it the other way round, I want to wear slipper into my own house also cannot?

Apologies but, IMHO unless you are a Malaysian driving a Singapore registered car, pumping subsidised 95 octane fuel is like stealing money from the Malaysian tax payers.

 

Since if the Malaysian government cannot control amount of subsidy that is being abused, they might have to abolish subsidised fuel altogether.

 

This will of course affect the poorer man on the street who are just getting by and, I don't want to look back and be part of the reason that it happened.

 

Unless if there comes a day when the average Malaysian's wealth is greater than the average Singaporean's wealth, then I would say, lets all go for subsidised 95 octane fuel!

pumped petronas 95 a few times, can't feel any difference from Ron 95 petrol in SG. super cheap also. i notice some petronas petrol stations always run out of 97 petrol, so it's a good excuse to pump 95 :P

Who knows, they secretly swap the petrol, meaning the local actually taking 97 and the foreigners paying more for 95.....

Hi guys, need some advise here:

 

Any bros here pumped Petronas petrol while in Malaysia? How is the power like if you had pumped it before? OK or sluggish?

 

I saw in their website only 2 types of petrol : Primax 97 & Primax 95 Xtra. Which is better?

It slightly better then other but the fume smell stink...but then now stick to Esso.

No yet, they stop till Selangor, Malacca and below still Esso, due to bad response, they are delaying in the switching, currently Esso Kiosk are still selling petrol from Esso in MY.

The rule already state clearly that it is against foreign registered vehicles. So if you are not driving a Malaysian plate vehicle please only pump RON97 even if you are a Malaysian.

if i rem correctly, the initial ruling was to allow sg cars to pump max 20l of ron 95 within 50km of both sg and thailand customs.

 

then they change to can pump any amount as long as is ron 97

 

thats true.

 

if im not wrong, there's also some political tensions with the north msia and the south thais back then.. then msia side not happy and making noises..

then these petrol rules were implemented.

 

sg and johor are so close together since a long time. unlike with the thais..

we have so many msians coming in everyday.. almost like one of us..

 

they never really give us issues like some other asians

you got a point..

 

however, i do feel it's quite vague. saying stealing money seems harsh. Like that, cannot jaywalk already.. cos its an offence.

 

how much are tax payers subsidising the ron95? I doubt companies are making a loss selling at rm1.90/lit, even after getting government subsidy. too much to ponder for a poor man on the street like me. sidetrack a bit.. is it really ron97 when it says ron97?

 

I have spoken to and also heard from some station managers that they have a fair share of msians who come and pump only rm2.. rm10 worth of ron95 petrol.. cant earn money like that. profit margins of ron97 isnt much either. there's also a huge chunk of locals pumping ron95.

 

just a scenario, when u are driving in msia, u get stopped by TP for exceeding speed limit by 5km/h. TP ask u want to settle now? will you settle now or u request/wait for summon ticket? for me, I will request for summon, cos i dun give in to corruption. But, if there's a good chance to pump ron95, I will take it. haha.

 

just giving some alternative views. Cheers.

i did pay for the petrol everytime i pump....stealing is a serious words.....

 

i did contribute tax when i visit their restaurants and shopping malls.

 

anyway their country is too complicated to comment and control , maybe you should start concern about your country...

 

cheers....
