ISKANDAR PUTERI: No proof of purchase of RON95 petrol was found in the case involving two Singaporeans, who were allegedly pumping the subsidised fuel into a container, police say.
Investigations had been carried out by the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry, based on the closed-circuit television (CCTV) footage at the petrol station here.
The ministry did not find any proof of RON95 being sold to the men,” said OCPD Asst Comm Rahmat Ariffin.
He however added that the police are still looking for the two men and have requested help from the Singapore Consulate Office in Johor Baru.
The case is being investigated under Section 506 of the Penal Code for criminal intimidation, he added.
On June 16, a video capturing an argument between a delivery rider and the two men was widely shared on social media.
It was reported that the incident occurred as the rider had reprimanded the duo for buying the subsidised RON95 petrol, which is banned from being sold to those driving foreign-registered vehicles.
Following the exposure of the clip, the rider was suspended.
Social media users then spoke up for the rider, saying they would boycott his company and uninstall the mobile application.
On Thursday, Grab Malaysia said it had reinstated the rider after looking into the matter.
