Kar_lover Supercharged March 29, 2011 Share March 29, 2011 There is no black and white that say so. As usual, the law has loophole and it doesn't mean it has been approved officially. The law says specifically all foreign registered cars, didn't say who is the driver (whether foreigner or Malaysian). Correct me, if I'm wrong. Thank you. Regards, The regular caltex station i pump got official notice (sticker pasted at the pump) that states dat foreign reg vehicles can pump 95 is can produce MyKad. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andylkkg 4th Gear March 29, 2011 Share March 29, 2011 Was forgetful, request someone in MCF to enlighten me in the first place, why this 3/4 ruling came about because of what huh? Why was the need to come out with such a rule which restrict the freedom of purchasing pertol from MY? Is it because of the tax on SG petrol which may potentially a lose of revenue from the gov?

Why was the need to come out with such a rule which restrict the freedom of purchasing pertol from MY? Is it because of the tax on SG petrol which may potentially a lose of revenue from the gov? sg govt takes 35% of pump price without GST, or $0.44 per litre (whichever is higher). so everybody went over to pump in MY, which does not tax their petrol yet subsidise them. so SG intro 1/2 tank rule (in the 80s) over time SG need more tax money to pay million dollar ministar salaries. so now intro 3/4 tank rule. maybe after next election its 7/8 tank rule.

SimonTan 2nd Gear March 29, 2011 Share March 29, 2011 Same as why one cannot bring in Chicken rice from Malaysia. Malaysia has subsidised many commodities like petrol, oil, salt, rice, chicken, etc. So not allowed to bring it into Singapore. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unfair 3rd Gear March 29, 2011 Share March 29, 2011 Why are we bowing to these rules ? SGP loves to follow british examples, the british have different rates at petrol stations as they are not a cartel. You are also free to go anywhere in the EU to pump fuel.

Zak7182 Neutral Newbie March 29, 2011 Share March 29, 2011 Thanks you sir for the clarification, so it is still due to lost of potential revenue, also wondering why there are no freedom of market...... Where got freedom of market??? Use roads also kena pay(ERP). Road tax already kena pay. Still got many potholes on our roads! Register car kena pay(COE). Might as well buy HDB house also come out with COE system! Like that can control demand. Why register vehicles cannot use hdb ballot system? Come on la local born Singaporeans, we are too nice aren't we? Always give give give.............. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donut Supercharged March 29, 2011 Share March 29, 2011 i think the MY garment is damm stupid. they could have implement a system where they can charge full price for SG cars. On the fuel pump, they can install dual pricing, one for MY car, one for SG car. once a SG car drives in to a pump, the attendent just press a switch to activate the full price. A light indicator can be installed on top of the pump, differentiating to the cashiers whether its a SG or MY car. no need to do anythng else..... I find that showing MY ID car is pointless... a SG car is a SG car. what's the logic of showing MY ID card? the driver may be a MY, but the car is not......

Maz0608 3rd Gear March 29, 2011 Share March 29, 2011 They will catch even more of those flaunting the 3/4 tank rule if the officers at the immigration would stop playing with their mobile phones or talking to girls or MIA totally. I think the officers at the custom will catch more if they are given a commission for anyone caught flaunting the 3/4 tank rule. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curahee 1st Gear March 29, 2011 Share March 29, 2011 Thanks you sir for the clarification, so it is still due to lost of potential revenue, also wondering why there are no freedom of market......
