RON97 rises by 10 sen, unsubsidised RON95 up 15 sen
Unsubsidised diesel will also cost 20 sen more, with these prices in effect until Aug 26.
The prices of Malaysian petrol and diesel will rise from tomorrow, the finance ministry announced. RON97 will become 10 sen more expensive, from RM4.15 to RM4.25 per litre. Unsubsidised RON95 will see a 15 sen increase, going from RM3.62 to RM3.77 per litre. Diesel will rise by 20 sen, from RM4.47 to RM4.67 per litre. RON95 under the BUDI95 scheme will stay at RM1.99 per litre, while diesel under the BUDI Diesel initiative will remain at RM2.10 per litre.
Subsidised petrol under the SKPS system will stay at RM2.05 per litre, and subsidised diesel under the SKDS system will be sold at RM2.15 per litre. The price changes are expected to last until August 26. The ministry linked the price hikes to ongoing issues in oil traffic through the Strait of Hormuz due to conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran, as well as a strike on a Russian oil refinery.
The ministry warned the public to use fuel wisely, plan travel efficiently, and cut back on unnecessary journeys to help conserve fuel supplies and curb subsidy costs.
