OHOR BARU: Foreigners who blatantly flout the ruling that bars foreign-registered vehicles from buying subsidised RON95 petrol can be fined up to RM100,000 or face three years imprisonment.

Deputy Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Tan Lian Hoe said the ministry would not hesitate to penalise foreigners under the Control Supply Act 1991.

“We hope the foreigners can cooperate with the ministry and abide by the ruling,” she told The Star yesterday.

Tan urged the foreigners, especially in border states such as Kedah, Perlis, Johor, Kelantan and Sabah and Sarawak, to follow the ruling and respect the country’s laws.

“The price of RON97 is still much cheaper compared to countries such as Singapore,” she said.

She added that ministry personnel nationwide had been instructed to monitor petrol kiosks to ensure that foreigners and kiosk operators abide by the ruling.

She added that operators also risked losing their licence if they were found to be selling the subsidised RON95 to foreign-registered vehicles.
