Fuel, Singapore and Malaysia · Global Voices
Connie Veneracion

Fuel is more expensive in Singapore than in Malaysia and, according to H J Angus of MalaysiaWatch, it is not uncommon for Singaporeans to drive to Malaysia to fill up their gasoline tanks. But Malaysia is now considering imposing a fee on all foreign cars entering Malaysia to effectively prevent foreigners from enjoying the subsidized fuel rates. Angus thinks the proposal will backfire on the Malaysian economy.
