Flight of ideas "Suggestion for Government in preventing Singaporean pumping our RON95 petrol"

It has been a long time since I last wrote a blogger post. 

The traffic in Johor Bahru has been terrible since the MY-SG borders opened. It is really frustrating and annoying. We allow foreigners to come to our country to improve our economic /foreign funds etc. But at the same time, we destroy the quality of life of Johorean (all time wasted in traffic jam). If we can build a bigger and larger road, or more traffic police to control the traffic, will it be a better option? 

There is a famous saying, a successful country depends on its folk. Government should think of the people first! Again, now Johor going to switch from Friday /Saturday (weekend) to the usual Saturday /Sunday. I can't imagine how bad the traffic will end up. The traffic issue was never settled. I do not know how it should be settled. The traffic in Johor is almost as bad as KL due to flooding of Singapore cars. 

For Singaporeans, I know the cost of living in Johor is lower compared to Singapore. One Singapore dollar is equivalent to RM3.2 in Malaysia. Since April 2022, there were news regarding Singapore cars pumping RON 95 petrol. It is illegal for them to pump RON95 as it is heavily subsidised by the Malaysia government. 

Please lah...don't use our taxpayer money. Even if you pump RON97, it is still cheaper compared to Singapore petrol. You all come here shopping for all kinds of things, the cost of living has been divided by 3. What else do you all want?  

We Malaysian have been poorer and poorer, and the government have no enough money for permanent doctor post as well. Our >24hours on-call claim has never been adjusted. No enough manpower was never addressed. We contribute our time, health, and energy to society, why the government cannot guarantee a comfortable income/ job security/ or reasonable pay to doctors? No wonder a lot of doctors go to private/ Singapore etc etc. Those contract doctors who worked hard but ended up do not get a permanent post. A lot of junior doctors seek jobs in Singapore as they felt job insecure if staying in Malaysia. We cant even retain our manpower. So sad...

I do hope the government can take some action for all the issues above. 

For Singaporeans who are still pumping RON 95, I got an idea. Why don't you reward the people who found out Singaporeans are pumping RON 95? If we provide evidence (photo, date, time, car plate) and report to the government, the government can reward the reporter RM xxx. Then government go and caught and fined the petrol station and that Singaporean RM xxx xxx. 

This method help to 

1) provide job opportunities as petrol stations can hire more manpower. Petrol stations have been earning a lot of money, RM1500/person won't affect much. And now we are self-service in pumping petrol. 

2) everyone will be an eye for the government (Singaporeans won't dare to pump RON 95 and the rakyat can earn pocket money as well) The sales for RON 97 will increase as well which is not affordable to most Malaysian belonging to M40 and below...

3) Government can earn more money (foreign fund some more) as a heavy fine is imposed $$$$ (the law stated that can be up to 2 million)

4) law is upheld as no one longer dares to break the law

5) first rakyat police cooperation (it is common in Taiwan as people report to the police who did wrong in traffic, throw cigarette butt etc and they earn rewards as well)

Above are just my personal suggestion, they can be modified into a win-win solution. 

Thank you for reading. Just sharing some non-sense thoughts...
