Dissidence Clutched March 12, 2013 Share March 12, 2013 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!

Laiwh 1st Gear March 12, 2013 Share March 12, 2013 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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! 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
