A ONE-MINUTE video showing a suspicious petrol station transaction has set Malaysian social media ablaze.
In the clip, a man appears to pump subsidised RON95 fuel into a vehicle with a partially obscured registration number, raising questions about eligibility and intent.
Did a foreigner really attempt to mask his Singapore car's plates to access fuel meant only for Malaysians?
Verdict:
TRUE
Kulai OCPD Asst Comm Tan Seng Lee confirmed that police received a report on the viral incident at about 10am on Saturday (Jan 3).
The incident was believed to have occurred at about 10.35pm on Friday (Dec 2).
"We have received a report on the matter and have referred it to the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry for further action," he said in a statement.
He added that police are also in the process of identifying the car's owner and will issue a summons if the owner is found to have committed an offence.
A one-minute video showing a man pumping subsidised RON95 petrol, which is meant only for citizens with Malaysian-registered vehicles, made the rounds on social media.
In the video, the first and last letters of the car's registration number appeared to have been covered with black paint or marker.
The voice of an unidentified individual, believed to be the person recording the video, could also be heard asking the suspect if he was Malaysian, to which the man replied that he was.
The report confirmed the man allegedly covered the registration number of his Singapore-registered vehicle to pump RON95 petrol at a petrol station in Kulai.
