Now the latest is that Shell V-Power is exempted from the 20 lit cap. So can pump V-Power until shiok2. What this means is that all SG cars go for Shell V-Power. Shell must have given MY Govt some kopi money..??

These stupid fuel subsidies will DROWN the nation, SINK the world.

Incr CO2 emissions> Incr Global warming> polar Ice melts> Sea levels rise up to 70m> greater Human disaster fr floods/ tsunamis, sea water flooded farms grow no food> disaster survivors starve to death.
( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_global_warming )

Are govts prepared for exigencies e.g. Tsunami where even lightly hit Malaysia had problems attending to those affected: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/asia-pacific/4100030.stm , terrorist strikes/ Religious separatism/ Infectious disease outbreaks etc.

Fuel subsidy is a stop gap measure to quickly boost jobs and GDP, however this is is both socially and environmentally unsustainable. Money should be spent on educational, health care, sustainable agricultural, telecommunications/ internet and rail infrastructure for a better environment and a more sustainable livelihood for all.

As stated, these stupid fuel subsidies will only DROWN the nation, SINK the world.
Hope their charges know better and VOTE THEM OUT soon before we all drown in salty water.

Please wake up, danger is near, learn how to swim and catch your own fish.

Good day:).

The petrol stations in JB today put up notice that the 20l restriction does not apply to Singapore cars.

Purchase at will.

If a SG car already has more than 20 litres of fuel, can it pump 20 more litres of fuel at the affected petrol kiosks?

In short, no need for sg car to leave msia with max
of 20 litre of petrol, but sg car can only top up 20 litre of petrol. I have no idea how the government can enforce this.

There is exemption on SG-registered cars from the 20 litre cap rule while leaving Malaysia borders, it’s only applicable to the Thai border.

For Malaysians who are SG-PRs driving SG car to work every day, it’s quite a relief that the initially-stupid 20litre cap is taken away. For those who pump every day, and if have a 40 – 60 litre tank car, 20 litres should be enough to make up a full tank ( s long as you comply with the 3/4 tank rule while leaving SG)

It seems to me that the new enforcement is about how much fuel in foreign vehicles, and not how much fuel a foreign vehicle can be pumped. I assume a car with 3/4 fuel (>20 litres in car) will violate the new rule if trying to pump fuel at the affected petrol kiosks. It is 20-litre fuel ‘CAP’ on foreign vehicles. Btw, this is how I interpret from the news, hope someone can clarify.
