The owner of a foreign-registered vehicle linked to an attempt to obtain subsidised RON95 fuel has turned himself in at Kulai district police headquarters to assist in the ongoing investigation.
Kulai police chief ACP Tan Seng Lee confirmed that the investigation is still underway and that the case papers will be promptly submitted to the deputy public prosecutor. He added that the individuals involved, captured in a viral social media video, are a married couple aged 63 and 67.
The incident occurred last Friday when the vehicle, registered in Singapore, was seen filling RON95 petrol at a local station. Police have traced the owner, a Singapore Permanent Resident, and summoned him to cooperate with authorities.
The case is being investigated under Section 108(3)(e) of the Road Transport Act 1987. Authorities previously carried out inspections following complaints, with the Johor Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDN) taking enforcement action under Subregulation 12A of the Control of Supplies Regulations 1974, which prohibits the sale of subsidised RON95 petrol to foreign-registered vehicles.
