Malaysian citizenship with Singapore PR status.

So Msian PR can pump Ron 97 bo.

Can pump anything, only R95 not into that car.

There're netizens calling for their PR to be revoked so that they can freely pump R95.

Yeah, Ago can pump Ron95 anytime he wants because he drives Malaysian car.

Change of breakfast plans today because I need to go Jaya grocer at Austin and it only opens at 9.30am. So I will head to lotus’s and deluxe circle first after breakfast, then head north to Austin.

RN8.20 with kopi o kosong

Traffic coming in was fantastic- left the school at 7.15am and ordered my wanton mee before 7.40am. I was expecting some slight congestion because today is still Malaysian school holiday but I was wrong. No Malaysian PHV spotted, a lot of counters opened- I spent less time queuing at both checkpoints combined than at my daughter’s primary school drop off. Several primary one students couldn’t get off their fathers’ cayenne without assistance so the father had to alight and open the door for them, jamming up the entire drop off.

I think..

Be it Singaporean or malaysian. Or PR etc.
As long its a SG register plate vehicle = cannot pump 95. Only 97 Up.
If driving Malaysia register plate vehicle = can pump 95. (If malaysia with MyKad card = $1.99RM, If non malaysian = $2.65rm)

Right. They've already clarified at one stage that using R95 for non-Malaysia registered vehicles is not allowed, regardless of nationality.

Straightforward so clear but yet...

If Lotus’s Tebrau can open a laundromat, it would be perfect. I can drop my CNY spring cleaning curtains and bedsheets etc, and collect when my grocery is done. One backside wash by two Malaysian bidets.

Deluxe circle having promotion for steamboat hotpot soup base. $2.50 after conversion, expiry November 2026. Very good deal, cheaper than Shopee even after 25%.

Aeon Tebrau Verrona with 2 r non school holiday weekday crowd at 10.45am.

No pictures but Jaya Grocer @ Austin now carries a lot of China goods, literally a mini Scarlett. No wonder I saw so many PRC housewives in the morning. Fortunately, I managed to find my taco seasoning and wrap. Not sure going forward I’ll still be able to find them if the Chinafication continues full steam ahead in Johor Bahru.

So they'll only have themselves to blame for their newfound popularity on both sides of the Straits of Johor.

I suspect he used his MyKad to game twice...but then PDRM used this info from the kiosk to game him

Possibly, he does not have a Malaysian plated car that can take advantage of the discount, so he feigns that he doesnt know that SG plated cars are not eligible. In any case, there is a 300 litre cap to the $1.99RM/litre petrol. There is nothing to stop one from using a Malaysian plate vehicle to collect the discounted fuel and then transferring the fuel to a SG plate.

• RON97: RM3.16 per litre
• RON95 (Non-Subsidised): RM2.56/L
• RON95 (Subsidised): RM1.99/L

Someone with MyKad and a driving license but no car can pocket more than RM150 per month just by giving up his quota of subsidised RON95 fuel to a foreigner who is otherwise forced to buy RON97.

Viable or not?

Each Malaysian with MyKad has a quota cap 300L per month. (I think, need to confirm)

Malaysian with MyKad and a driving license but no car.

- if he help a foreigner to pump on a non-malaysia plate vehicle = illegal.

- He can help foreigner whom own a malaysia Plate vehicle to pump at a discounted rate - no issue. as long whenever need to pump he is with the driver and present with his MyKad. (maybe he can earn abit pocket money But i feel its too much of a trouble).

Just now first time use PayNow in Malaysia to pay for the beans. Sweet Blossoms do not accept paywave. They accept PayNow and PayLah.

I use the UOB app scan to pay, rate reflected was 3.06. Quite bad, because Youtrip rate was around 3.13 ish

 

[tiertime]
