SINGAPORE – A petrol station near Kuala Lumpur is being investigated by the Malaysian authorities after a motorist driving a Singapore-registered car was caught pumping subsidised RON95 petrol.
The man, who was driving a white luxury sedan, is also believed to have paid using an overseas credit card, even though foreign-issued credit and debit cards are banned at the pump in Malaysia.
The Selangor Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN), in a Facebook post on April 26, said it received a complaint at its Petaling Jaya branch about the car being filled up at a Shell petrol station with RON95 petrol.
Photos of the motorist pumping RON95 were also circulated on the Singapore Road Vigilante’s Facebook page on April 25. The Facebook page is dedicated to traffic matters such as accidents and traffic offences caught on camera.
