Under the BUDI95 scheme, RON95 remains at RM1.99 per litre, while diesel under the BUDI Diesel initiative stays at RM2.10 per litre. Subsidised petrol under the SKPS system will remain at RM2.05 per litre, and subsidised diesel under the SKDS system will continue at RM2.15 per litre. These price adjustments are set to last until October 28. The finance ministry stated that the government will continue to shield the public and businesses from the impact of global uncertainties.
