Singaporeans still buying RON 95 fuel
JOHOR BARU: Many Singapore-registered cars are still buying RON 95 fuel at petrol stations here despite the ban imposed by the Government since Aug 1. Although the sale of subsidised RON 95 fuel is strictly meant for Malaysian-registered vehicles only, Singaporeans seem to be ignoring the ruling.
Domestic Trade, Cooperative and Consumerism Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaacob had in July said that foreign-registered vehicles were only allowed to buy RON 97. He said enforcement officers would be placed at petrol stations, particularly in the border areas of Kedah, Perlis, Johor, Kelantan, Sabah and Sarawak, to ensure petrol kiosk operators did not sell the subsidised RON 95 to foreign-registered vehicles.
