READING the news report that Malaysian drivers with foreign-registered vehicles can just show their MyKads to kiosk personnel in order to buy RON95 petrol and that foreign car users can report if kiosk owners don’t sell RON95 to them brings to mind again another issue that has not been properly thought out or planned before execution.
Knowing that Malaysians are quite “innovative” when it comes to making a quick buck, I think the flexibility of just showing the MyKad has the undesired effect of creating “jockeys” who are Malaysians, waiting at petrol kiosks near our borders to assist foreign vehicle owners fill up with the cheaper RON95.
