At a flick of a hidden button, the fuel gauge indicators would show that the fuel tank is either full or 3/4 full (whereas in actuality, the amount is much less). <BR/><BR/>All these while, the practice to "goncang" singaporean cars so that more fuel could be pumped is a normal affair.<BR/><BR/>And guess what, I was informed that some enterprising people are providing these modification services on our side of the causeway! Of course, if these modified cars are detected by the Singaporean authorities, the owners will be slapped with a hefty fine not to mention the vehicles would be liable to be seized.Superstagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13455404443126480704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534232952413311481.post-62614617808124428132008-06-03T14:07:00.000+08:002008-06-03T14:07:00.000+08:00"What goes around comes around". I remember when S..."What goes around comes around". I remember when Singapore first implemented the 3/4 tank rule for Singapore registered cars leaving Singapore, we Malaysians had a fine titter about it. Remember how we mocked the Singaporeans for their cowed mentality and all that. I guess they are now having the last laugh (which, by the way, he who laughs last laugh best!).ella2https://www.blogger.com/profile/17214133233894580361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6534232952413311481.post-6047807312467395702008-06-03T05:31:00.000+08:002008-06-03T05:31:00.000+08:00A reduction in fuel subsidies should also be compl...A reduction in fuel subsidies should also be complemented by a reduction in annual road tax or import duties/taxes that make cars so expensive in Malaysia.Trashedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16253745273987433750noreply@blogger.com
