PUTRAJAYA (March 26): Enforcement of the ban on the purchase and sale of RON95 petrol to foreign-registered vehicles will take effect on April 1, said Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Minister Datuk Armizan Mohd Ali. He said the move was a strengthening of the existing legal framework which previously only imposed offences on petrol station operators. Armizan said the enforcement was a follow-up to the decision he presented in Parliament on Jan 29. "I am reminding all parties, whether petrol station operators or foreign motor vehicle consumers, to comply with this ban," he said. Armizan said KPDN would not compromise with any individual, syndicate or operator involved in smuggling or abuse of fuel subsidies.
