Prices of petrol, diesel remain unchanged

KUALA LUMPUR: The retail prices of RON97 and RON95 petrol and diesel remain unchanged for the week from March 30 to April 5.

The Ministry of Finance (MOF), in a statement today, said that the price of RON97 would remain at RM3.35 per litre, RON95 (RM2.05) and diesel (RM2.15).

"To protect the consumers from global oil price increase, the government will maintain the ceiling price of RON95 at RM2.05 per litre and diesel at RM2.15 per litre, even though the market price for the two products has increased beyond the current ceiling price," read the statement.

The MOF also said that the government will continue to monitor the trends of global crude oil prices and take appropriate measures to ensure the continued welfare and well-being of the people.
