Tabao petrol kanna caught at Woodlands checkpoint

[KaKiLang]

Moderate jam at Woodlands around 12.30am after a long day at Bkt Indah, notice the queue was not moving much, realise the customs are doing very thorough check on vehicles coming back, was following behind a Korean made black plate on the right hand side of the complex when the officer dugged out two 5litres plastic jelly cans. Suay gotta filter out from that lane cos he closed that lane and took the driver passport. Donno wat will be the consequences, fine? No picture cos custom buay sai hip xiong.

 

Saw 4 to 5 Sg cars kanna hundred % check further up. Guess tonite will be another thorough nite for them.

I believe smuggling petrol to be a serious offence. I assume each plastic jelly can can hold of 20 litres petrol. Drive a car (COE now so high) to smuggle 2 X 20 litres of petrol? Unless it is a pre-arranged training exercise. Vehicle used for smuggling is usually confisticated and auctioned off later. Puzzled if jelly cans empty ones, how you know smuggled petrol?

The metal tin sold at some petrol kiosk is 4-5 liter only...

Good luck to the driver who kenna caught.

If customs proceed with official charges instead of fines, that kuku's car is as good as gone.

actually, no matter which direction i see it, i cant find ANY law that says u cant buy petrol and store them in jelly cans. only "rule" of petrol is the 3/4 tank

Small tin can easily explain off, but not big jerry can.

Well, try opening eye and engaging brain.

[SimonTan]

Some golong distance must carry extra can of petrol.

[Keenblade]

Dozens of rules pertaining to unpaid duties and taxes. Also rules that can easily make smuggled petrol be labeled as "contraband". Things like: How are we sure you got this from a petrol kiosk? Maybe you're part of an international smuggling ring trying to operate in Malaysia and Singapore?

 

If they want to make you suffer, they can. Be careful.

[Fattychubby]

haha.. he probably will tell customs that the petrol are on standby etc..

I dont really have an issue with them buying petrol back.. concern is that this is highly flammable.. it might endanger other road users.
