  they used to have to pay ERP. it has been waived sometime around 2001-2002.
  
  also, there is no need for SBST and SMRTB to pump at Malaysia. firstly, i don't think they're allowed to do so, and they do enjoy economies of scale since these bus companies buy diesel in bulk.

  Foreign vehicles to pay entry fee
  04 May 2006
  
  PUTRAJAYA: The Road Transport Act 1987 will be amended to levy a charge on foreign vehicles that enter the country.
  
  Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak said the Cabinet would also decide on the quantum of levy to be imposed once the amendment was incorporated.
  
  Speaking to reporters after chairing a Barisan Nasional meeting at his office here, he said the move would affect vehicles from Singapore and Thailand.
  
  Tourism Minister Datuk Seri Tengku Adnan Tengku Mansor said last month that visitors from the two countries who used their cars to enter the country would be charged RM20 for an entry permit .
  
  Najib, who is also BN deputy chairman, said the Government had received various views pertaining to the fee.
  
  "Some people say we should not have it as it will discourage visitors," he said.
  
  Transport Minister Datuk Seri Chan Kong Choy said motorcycles and heavy vehicles would be exempted.
  
  even though by right public service vehicles are most likely will not be included in this levy exercise, this line should lay a peace of mind to those who had doubts over the fate of cross-border bus services.

  actually this RM20 levy is to deter south thailand vehicles from pumping cheaper fuel, and Singapore is the ultimate scapegoats..
