of malaysia 2nd finance minister says singaporeans are foreign smugglers

Malaysia says foreign cars will pay more for fuel: In an interview with Bernama, Malaysia's Second Finance Minister Nor Mohamed Yakcop talks about the fuel subsidy reform plan to be announced before the 2009 national budget.

Nor Yakcop tells Bernama,

No it wouldn't. Tourists who come in, they can certainly buy (petrol) in non-border towns ... there is no problem but in the border towns ... there has been absolute misuse by people along the border who come and buy and go off to sell back (the petrol) to their country.

Nor Yakcop continues to say,

WHY SHOULD WE GIVE SUBSIDIES TO FOREIGN SMUGGLERS.
