oh I'm so excited, I'll be staying at Aloft after Christmas and it looks amazing! I was also in Langkawi 3 years ago and stayed at the resort across the road by the beach and was also very good! I hope we have just as great views as this from our rooms! Interested to see how Langkawi has changed since covid as we were lucky enough to visit just before it started! Thanks for the awesome vid :)

The RM200 charge in petrol station is a normal thing. It's a pre-approval transaction to ensure you have sufficient balance (or credit limit) before you start refueling. The balance will be credited to your card (including international cards) but the process may take several days. The obvious reason why the system works this way is because they don't want people to refill RM120 with a card that has RM10 in it.

@@Danygotaworldtosee I understand now the real reason for the Rm200. Nothing to do with your balance or credit limit but it's because of the style of payment. In Malaysia, you pay/tap first, and then you fill. Therefore, the bank doesn't know how much to charge (because you haven't filled your fuel yet). So the RM200 is just a blanket charge to all cards on all fueling activities. Once you have filled your fuel and the amount is determined, it will be returned. So: 1. It is NOT a scam. 2. You have to check your bank statement whether : the Rm200 is charged and then returned, and the fuel charge is charged again. RM200, -Rm200, Rm5.xx or the balance is returned : RM200, -Rm194.xx. Clarify with your bank if it's not returned.

Lesson learn. It is normal to get refund in your bank within 1 to 2 months, at least 1 month next account statement after using credit card at fueling machine. Use cash if you want the instant return for full tank amount. To avoid this unconvenience, use credit card at counter with exact amount.

Usually if you use the credit card at the pump by default it will debit rm200 from your card limit and after finishing pumpiing say rm10 the credit card company will release back the rm200 and charge rm10. It is better as a foreigner to use the credit card at the cashier inside the shop and tell them you only want to pump x amount and they will swipe the card accordingly. For motorcycle few bucks will be sufficient and usually in cash

You should check your account statement and contact the bank for your refund. Honestly its more of the bank messing up than a scam. Whenever you initiate the card payment on terminal and its approved, RM200 is deducted on the spot regardless if you proceed with the transaction or not. It's a standard procedure set by the banks. Reason being, as you use the card before filling the tank, the bank don't know how much to charge and hold some amount as "guarantee" money. Usually it took less than a day for the RM200 to be returned to your account and they will charge you for the fuel. Some banks don't even alert or notify you of this but you will see this transaction on your bank statement. Credit/ debit card will also be decline if the balance is less than RM200. Source i'm a local who only use this payment method exclusively whenever i fill up my tank.

Gas stations here in the US sometimes do that deposit thing too. As soon as you run the card they put a "Pending" charge on your card as a deposit. When you complete the gas transaction they charge you the actual price and purge the "Pending" transaction. Not sure why some places do this, but...?

The tourism industry has been rattled by Kedah’s PAS-led state government for suggesting that the sale of alcohol would be controlled on the resort island of Langkawi, following its move to shut down gaming outlets in the state. Its leaders have warned that any move to ban liquor will deter tourists from the island, which is a major contributor to Kedah’s economy.

Langkawi, overpriced and under deliver. Been there once and never wanted to go back there again. Hotel charging into thousand a night just to get service that is mediocre. Why waste time and money. Just fly to Bangkok or go to Sabah and you can always have better time there with fraction of the price of Langkawi. Sanusi shouldn't be so bother about the tourism industry since he say he can attract billions of investment from overseas and billions of REE deposit in Kedah. What is mere few millions tourism industry to Sanusi.

That's sad to hear about your experience in the gas station. Check your bank statement if RM5.52 was deducted and RM194.48 was return to your account. Usually the return is instant on the same date or maybe in a couple days. Perhaps there's a problem with the bank on the transaction. I hope you can sort it out. And I hope, apart from that, you're not too disappointed with the most famous island in the country. 😁
