The cost of RON97 petrol, which is not subsidized, and RON95 will both see a reduction of 5 sen per litre, bringing their prices down to RM5.10 and RM4.62 per litre respectively. On the other hand, diesel will experience a 10 sen decrease, with a new price of RM5.17 per litre. The BUDI95 program will continue to offer RON95 at RM1.99 per litre, while diesel remains at RM2.10 per litre under the BUDI Diesel initiative. Subsidized petrol, controlled 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. These price reductions are set to last until October 21. The ministry reassured the public and businesses in a statement that they will continue to safeguard against the effects of global instability. It was also revealed that the government plans to allocate RM40 billion for fuel subsidies in the coming year, as outlined in the 2027 budget. This financial commitment aims to foster economic growth and secure the livelihoods of its citizens.",
