  "account": "Starting tomorrow, the prices of RON97 and RON95 petrol without subsidies in Malaysia will decrease by 20 sen and 15 sen respectively, while diesel without subsidies will drop by 10 sen, according to the Ministry of Finance. The price of RON97 is set at RM4.15 per liter, down from RM4.35, and the price of RON95 will be at RM3.62 per liter, down from RM3.77. Diesel without subsidies will be priced at RM4.47 per liter, down from RM4.57. These prices will remain in effect until August 19. Meanwhile, subsidised oil prices will remain unchanged, with RON95 selling at a subsidy of RM1.99 per liter and diesel through BUDO Diesel still being sold at RM2.10 per liter. The subsidies for the Petrol and Diesel Control Systems will also remain at RM2.05 per liter and RM2.15 per liter respectively. The government hopes the resolution of the conflict between the United States and Iran will lower global oil prices for most of the past week. However, uncertainty about the reopening of the Hormuz Strait continues to pose a risk of disruptions to the global supply of oil and pressure on petroleum prices. Consequently, it is expected that petroleum product prices will continue to experience volatility in the near future, the ministry said in a statement. The ministry urges the public to practice fuel conservation, plan trips more efficiently, and reduce unnecessary driving to help extend national supplies and reduce the pressure on subsidy expenditures.",
