Malaysia looking to increase locations selling unsubsidised petrol in Johor, other states to foreigners

JOHOR BAHRU - Malaysia’s Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry is working to identify a suitable location to expand the unsubsidised petrol station scheme in Johor, amid a recent dispute involving foreigners suspected to have been involved inMinister Datuk Seri Salahuddin Ayub said that a pilot project of the programme had already been implemented under the Border Economy programme in Padang Besar and Wang Kelian in Perlis, the northern state that borders Thailand.

“We are currently looking into finding the strategic location , and once we do, we will implement this programme,” he told reporters after an e-Learning programme launch in Johor Bahru on Saturday. Motorists with foreign-registered vehicles regardless of nationality are allowed to purchase the unsubsidised RON97 petrol, which is priced at RM3.37 per litre for the same period, but directly into their vehicle’s fuel tank apart from exceptional circumstances.

“The government is very clear in its policy that RON95 should only be sold to locals as it is one of the subsidised items in the country. Any petrol station owner or foreign individual who is caught violating this policy will face legal action. The Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry was in the final stages of increasing the number of petrol stations selling unsubsidised fuel in the states of Kelantan, Kedah, Perak, Sabah, and Sarawak, as well as Johor.
