KUALA LUMPUR (May 27): Starting Thursday (May 28) until June 3, RON97 petrol price will fall by a 20 sen quantum or from RM4.85 to RM4.65 per litre, while unsubsidised RON95 slips 15 sen to RM3.92 per litre, with diesel in Peninsular Malaysia dipping by 10 sen from RM4.97  to RM4.87 per litre.

Meanwhile, RON95 sold under the Budi95 scheme will remain at RM1.99 per litre while diesel in East Malaysia maintains at RM2.15 a litre, and the Subsidised Petrol Control System remains at RM2.05 per litre.

“This reduction does not indicate that pressure on global petroleum markets has eased,” the Ministry of Finance said in a statement, highlighting the uncertainty brought about by the conflict in the Middle East, which is now in its 12th week.

Brent crude prices are still maintaining at about US$100 per barrel, more than 50% above levels of US$60 to US$70 in end-February, when the conflict started.

The government urged the public to use fuel sensibly in order to safeguard supply, and advised Malaysians to reduce travel to maintain the country's fuel reserves.
