Don't Let Foreigner Car Filling Near Our Border

I still remember when I came back to Baling, Kedah, I can see a lot of foreign cars, especially with the plate number from Thailand simply refill their cars at our Petrol Station near the boundary!! And the worst thing, they are not using small car, as most of them prefers 'pickup lorry'  which easily can simply 100 litters. And they just bought the fuel at our subsidy price!! I felt so irritated looking at this situation, not much difference between 'Malaysian' and 'Thais', it the same. They also enjoy the same benefit. 


The worst scenario, when enforcement is not properly monitored. Although there is a regulation allowing  'Thais' can be in Malaysia just within 30 miles from the boundary (if I not mistaken), but  they simply 'belasah' more the the limits, even sometimes we can seen those car in Selangor!!! Meaning to say, our police in Malaysia is so 'efficient'  until they  can't  foresee this, maybe they are so busy with 'mat rempit' issue. 

I really agreed with the Government decision to ban all petrol stations within 30 to 50km from the Malaysia-Thailand border and the Malaysia-Singapore border from selling fuel to foreign cars beginning 30 May 2008 onwards. And this would also applied all the petrol stations in Perlis, Kedah, North Perak, Kelantan, and several Johor distrincts. Offending petrol station owners would be fined up to RM250,000 or jailed 3 years or both. But the question is how the Government want to enforce this? Will they send 'mata2 kelabu' at all the petrol stations.
