MALAYSIA PUTS CAP ON FUEL FOR THAIS


Malaysia has started enforcing a restriction on petrol sales to Thai-registered vehicles.

Thai oil companies yesterday raised petrol and diesel prices by 60 satang per litre in line with a rise in world prices.

A Customs official at Betong border checkpoint confirmed that hundreds of people have driven across the border into Malaysia's Perak state to take advantage of lower prices.

As a result, Perak authorities have instructed their petrol stations to cap sales of fuel to Thai-registered vehicles at 200 baht a time and not allow drivers to fill containers.

Malaysian government officers were deployed at stations in the northern state to monitor the restriction, which is to help tackle the problem of soaring subsidy bills that keep Malaysia's retail prices at nearly half of those in Thailand.

In a related development, police from Yarom station in Betong district yesterday raided a house in tambon Yarom and seized 180 litres of petrol smuggled from Malaysia. The fuel was contained in nine containers on a pickup truck. Police arrested Masukree Samah, 27, for suspected oil smuggling.
