KUALA LUMPUR — The Malaysian Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Ministry is putting a stop to the sale of subsidised petrol to foreign vehicles.
The move came on the heels of a viral image of a man fueling a Singapore-registered vehicle with the RON95 petrol.
Its minister Alexander Nanta Linggi had ordered for an investigation into the image and more aggressive monitoring to be carried out at all petrol stations.
He also ordered petrol companies and petrol station operators in Johor to disallow the sale of RON95 fuel for foreign vehicles.
"More aggressive enforcement activities will also be implemented with the launch of Ops Pantau 2022 on Monday.
"Apart from ensuring adequate supply of goods and sold at reasonable prices, Ops Pantau 2022 was also to ensure high compliance by traders following the full reopening of the economic sector and the country's border gates starting April 1.
"The ministry has also ordered its state agencies at the borders of Singapore and Thailand to intensify monitoring and inspection," he said in a statement pm Monday (April 4).
Mr Alexander said individuals who flouted the Control of Supplies Act 1961 could face a maximum RM1 million (S$320,000) fine, maximum three years' jail, or both. NEW STRAITS TIMES
