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. 😂


Actually i agree on this..
If he have a Malaysian Plate vehicle..

He can just use that to pump, go back his malaysia home and siphon to his SG car will do..

  • 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 went Sweet Blossoms Roasters, tried their coffee and bought some beans. Just nice they are roasting their coffee today .

The xmm kind to explain all the different beans.
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

I tried once before when Poh Kee WTM was closed but
1) the young chap (I think the son?) got both my noodle (no chilli) and coffee (added sugar) order wrong
2) always long queue relative to PK WTM, have to wait.
So far my order always ok one. i prefer this wtm.
Poh Kee got another branch just behind toppen mall
