JOHOR BAHRU: The Malaysian Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry’s division in Johor has pledged to step up enforcement against operators who sell RON95 petrol to foreign-registered vehicles in the state.
“Strict action will be taken if there are businesses which commit offences relating to controlled goods under the 1961 Control of Supplies Act,” Mr Mohd Hairul Anuar added. Following the reopening of the land borders between Johor and Singapore on Apr 1, a photo of an individual refuelling a Singapore-registered car with RON95 petrol at a kiosk in Johor Bahru went viral on social media.
Mr Mohd Hairul Anuar told CNA that he was aware that the photo had gone viral on social media and that his division took “initiative and proactive action” to monitor petrol kiosks, especially those located near the borders. CNA visited four petrol kiosks in Johor Bahru near the Woodlands Causeway on Monday afternoon, and observed that no Singapore-registered cars were refuelling with the RON95 petrol.
