JOHOR BARU: Singaporeans aren’t flocking to Johor just for groceries these days – fuel is the “obsession” for the moment. Singapore vehicles are only allowed to pump the unsubsidised RON97 fuel in Malaysia, which is being retailed here at RM5.15 per litre. Daryl said he hoped Malaysia would not impose restrictions on the amount of fuel foreign vehicle owners could purchase. Echoing the view was Johor Baru Small Businesses Association chairman Tey Tian Hwang, who said the RON97 price difference is significant enough for Singapo­reans to cross the Causeway just to pump petrol. Petrol Dealers Association of Malaysia president Datuk Khairul Annuar Abdul Aziz said the measure complements the ban on RON95 sales to foreign-registered vehicles.
