Fuel prices down another 10sen

PETALING JAYA: The retail price of petrol and diesel will go down another 10sen effective Wednesday.

The new price of RON97 petrol would be RM1.90 per litre down from RM2.00, while RON92 petrol and diesel would be down to RM1.80 from RM1.90 per litre, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Abdullah Ahmad Badawi said in a statement released at about 5pm on Tuesday.

“As the world fuel price has had a sharp decrease lately, the Government has decided to once again reduce the retail price for the public’s benefit,” he said.

This is the fifth time petrol and diesel prices had been reduced since Malaysian petrol retail prices hit a high of RM2.70 per litre in June.

Petrol price cut in Malaysia

Malaysia on Tuesday cut petrol prices by five percent, bringing pump prices down to 1.90 ringgit (0.52 dollars) per litre amid easing global crude prices.

Prime Minister Abdullah Ahmad Badawisaid said the 10 sen cut would be effective on Wednesday with diesel also reduced by 10 sen to 1.80 ringgit per litre.

“As the price of oil has visibly dropped, the government has again made a decision to reduce retail prices so that the public can benefit,” he said in a statement.

It is the sixth fuel price cut the government has announced since June’s 41 percent hike on the back of soaring crude costs, which sparked angry street protests and calls for the premier to resign.

The previous cut, by 15 sen, was just over two weeks ago.

June’s hike saw inflation soar, with the August price index reaching a 26-year high of 8.5 percent, also driven by the escalating cost of food and transportation.

Inflation has since eased at 7.6 percent in October as fuel prices dropped.

（吉隆坡）政府今日（週二，12月2日）宣佈汽油及柴油價格從明日起（3日）每公升再調低10仙，即無鉛97汽油從2令吉降至1令吉90仙，而柴油則1令吉90仙降至1令吉80仙。

首相拿督斯里阿都拉在文告中指出，無鉛汽油92則從每公升1令吉90仙，降至1令吉80仙。

調整油價後，意味著已較它在今年6月5日起76仙前的1令吉92仙還要低。

此次的調整也是今年8月23日以來的第6次油價下調。

阿都拉說，由於國際油價近來大幅下跌，政府決定再次調低，以讓人民受惠。
