Controversy Erupts Over Singaporean Driver Attempting to Fuel with RON95 in Malaysia

A recent incident at a petrol station in Johor Bahru (JB) has sparked outrage after a Singapore-registered vehicle, a Hyundai Elantra with the license plate #SKZ****, was caught trying to refuel with RON95 petrol, which is reserved for Malaysian citizens.

Background on RON95 Fuel Regulations

In Malaysia, RON95 petrol is heavily subsidized by the government and is intended solely for Malaysian citizens. Since August 2010, the sale of RON95 to foreign-registered vehicles has been prohibited. The price of RON95 is approximately RM2.05 (S$0.63), making it significantly cheaper than fuel prices in Singapore. Foreign vehicles are only permitted to refuel with RON97 or RON100, which are priced higher.

Reactions from the Public

The incident has drawn a flurry of comments on social media, with many users expressing their disapproval of the driver’s actions. Comments ranged from calling the driver a “cheapskate” to suggesting that he should be penalized for his actions. Some users proposed that petrol stations should designate specific lanes for foreign vehicles to prevent such occurrences in the future.

One user remarked, “Don’t be a cheapskate driver; even RON97 is still very cheap,” while another suggested that the petrol attendant should have refused to serve the driver altogether. Many commenters emphasized the need for stricter enforcement of the rules to deter similar behavior in the future.

Calls for Action

Several users urged the Malaysian authorities to take action against the driver, suggesting that his license plate should be tracked and that he should face fines for his actions. Comments like “This is the type of driver that must be caught and penalized” reflect a growing frustration with individuals who attempt to exploit subsidized resources meant for locals.

The situation serves as a reminder of the need for respect and compliance with the regulations of the host country.
