Caught during fuel enforcement operation<\/h3>\n

According to the New Straits Times (NST), the offence took place on 9 April during Op Tiris 4.0, an enforcement operation by the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry.<\/p>\n

Enforcement officers allegedly caught the Singaporean filling his Singapore-registered vehicle with BUDI95, Malaysia’s subsidised RON95 fuel, at a petrol station in Johor.<\/p>\n

Investigations found that he had breached Malaysia’s Control of Supplies Act 1961 by purchasing subsidised fuel using a foreign-registered vehicle.<\/p>\n

Paid fine to avoid jail<\/h3>\n

The court imposed a RM20,000 (about S$6,360) fine, with a default sentence of three months’ jail if it was not paid.<\/p>\n

The accused settled the fine on the same day.<\/p>\n

Malaysia has stepped up its enforcement efforts to curb the misuse of subsidised RON95 fuel by foreign-registered vehicles, with new regulations taking effect on 1 April.<\/p>\n

Under the new laws, both vehicle owners and petrol station operators will face legal consequences for purchasing subsidised fuel.<\/p>\n

The ministry also encouraged members of the public to report suspected fuel misuse through its official reporting channels.<\/p>\n
