After a Singaporean driver fled a petrol station at Bukit Indah without paying, photos of their car with its number plate in full view have made rounds on social media as part of the station’s attempt to collect payment.
The car is a blue Kia Sorento Diesel with number plate SNA1951S.
The photos were published on the Facebook page of SGRV Admin on Thursday last week (May 26).
According to a report in carbuyer.com.sg, the photo of the vehicle was released by the fuel station that had this caption: “Notice to SNA1951S car owners. Please come back to the station to make payment of outstanding bills. TQ.”
The report added that a check on OneMotoring’s website had been run by the cashier at the petrol station using the car’s number plate.
The report added that the price of diesel in Malaysia (S$0.67) per litre is four and a half times cheaper than prices in Singapore (S$3.03 per litre as of May 25, 2022).
Some netizens were surprised that the Singaporean driver got away with not paying for fuel, as payment should have been made first.
Others clarified the matter, however.
One netizen insisted that “both were at fault.”
Others condemned the driver’s actions.
When one netizen suggested it might have been “an honest mistake,” others quickly disagreed.
