These incidents include Singaporeans chalking up traffic offences, those who fuelled their cars with Ron95...

In her commentary, Mergawati wrote that Malaysia had spent billions on petrol subsidies which are meant only for residents.108,757 outstanding summonsesSingaporeans have also taken advantage of law enforcement in Malaysia that "is obviously very much lacking", Mergawati argued.
