JOHOR BARU: Shell's V-Power is exempted from the 20-litre restriction imposed on foreign vehicles on the purchase of petrol within 50km of the border.
Johor Domestic Trade, Cooperatives and Consumerism Department director Che Halim Abd Rahman said the department had received a new directive from the ministry on Thursday, stating that Shell V-Power was exempted.
"So only RON 95, RON 97 and diesel are included in the ruling.
"Shell V-Power is considered a premium grade of petrol," he told The Star here yesterday.
He added that the new directive had been circulated to all departments nationwide.
During the first week of implementation of the 20-litre petrol cap, Che Halim said all petrol stations statewide had abided by the ruling.
"We have not received reports of anyone not following the ruling.
"All petrol stations have cooperated fully with the department," he said, adding that its personnel were patrolling all stations in the state.
Johor Baru MP Datuk Shahrir Samad said that the new development would complicate the issue.
"The fine-tuning of the ruling shows there are many weaknesses.
"I will leave it to the wisdom of the ministry to implement the ruling effectively," said the former Domestic Trade, Co-operatives and Consumerism Minister.
