Pay Before Pumping

This sign reads PLEASE PAY FIRST – BEFORE PUMPING FUEL – PAY AT COUNTER OR BY CARD AT THE PUMP, with Sila Bayar Dahulu – Sebelum Mengepam Minyak – Bayar Di Kaunter Atau Dengan Kad Di Pam in Bahasa Malaysia. A Chinese version (请先付款) is available. The fuel-pump pictogram makes the message clear at the island. It is used at petrol station pump islands, kiosk windows and forecourt entrances across Malaysia, where pre-payment is standard and a clear sign saves attendants from repeating the instruction to new or foreign drivers. It also suits private fuel bowsers at plantations, quarries and fleet depots that operate a pay-first or log-first rule. Forecourts are exposed to sun, rain and fuel splashes, so Tandaku Colourfit EG steel sheet is recommended; a sticker applies directly to the pump housing and PVC foam board suits the kiosk interior. Sizes A6 to A1, five language versions, printed to order and delivered nationwide.
