霹雳州法院对向新加坡汽车出售RON95汽油的买家和加油站老板各处以25000令吉的罚款。

In a recent session at the Manjung Sessions Court, oil palm plantation worker Wong Ing Wan and petrol station owner Ling Mei Yen were each fined RM25,000 for their roles in the unauthorized sale and purchase of RON95 petrol for use in a foreign-registered vehicle.

Both pleaded guilty to violating the Control of Supplies Regulations, with the sentence also including a potential two-month prison term if the fines were not paid, which they subsequently paid.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Mohamad Nazreen Zabarudin highlighted the public interest aspect, noting the case's virality and public criticism.

The accused, both first-time offenders, appealed for leniency due to their personal circumstances.

MANJUNG, Sept 25 — An oil palm plantation worker and a petrol station owner were each fined RM25,000 by the Sessions Court here today for their involvement in buying and selling RON95 petrol for foreign-registered vehicles.

Judge Azizah Ahmad handed down the sentence against Wong Ing Wan, 46, and Ling Mei Yen, 51, after they pleaded guilty to the charges and also sentenced them to two months in prison if they failed to pay the fine. Both paid the fine.

Wong was charged with violating Regulation 4(1) of the Control of Supplies Regulations (Prohibition of Sale and Purchase of Controlled Goods) for purchasing 27.452 litres of RON95 petrol for use in a foreign-registered (Singapore) vehicle.

He was accused of committing the act at the Siew Service Station in Ayer Tawar at 8:25pm on May 13 under Regulation 4(3) of the same Regulations, punishable under Section 22(1) of the Control of Supplies Act 1961, which carries a fine not exceeding RM1 million, a maximum prison term of three years, or both for a first offence.

Meanwhile, Ling was charged — at the same date, time, and location — with violating Regulation 3(1) of the Control of Supplies Regulations (Prohibition of Sale and Purchase of Controlled Goods) for selling the same petrol to Wong for use in a foreign-registered (Singapore) vehicle.

The charge was filed under Regulation 3(2) of the similar Regulations, punishable under Section 22(1) of the Control of Supplies Act 1961, which provides for the same penalty.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Mohamad Nazreen Zabarudin requested the court to impose a proportionate sentence on the two unrepresented accused, taking into account public interest and the fact that the case involved the controlled substance RON95.

He added that the offence involving the sale and purchase of petrol using the BUDI Madani quota had also gone viral and drawn public condemnation.

Wong and Ling pleaded for a lenient sentence as it was their first offence. The man noted he supports his wife, a child, and an elderly mother, while the woman cares for her 80-year-old father and three children who are still studying. — Bernama
