KUALA LUMPUR, April 1 — RON97 will drop by 20 sen to RM4.95 per litre from April 2 to 8, the Finance Ministry (MOF) said in a statement today.
It added that diesel in Peninsular Malaysia will rise by 50 sen to RM6.02 per litre, while diesel in Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan remains at RM2.15 per litre.
Meanwhile, unsubsidised RON95 remains at RM3.87 per litre, while subsidised RON95 under BUDI95 stays at RM1.99 per litre.
The MOF said that effective today, the BUDI95 quota would be 200 litres per month, alongside the implementation of diesel filling limits, to curb leakages and smuggling.
The government is also maintaining the additional BUDI Diesel cash aid of RM100 for April, bringing the total aid to RM300 for recipients under the BUDI Individu and BUDI Agri-Komoditi categories.
According to MOF, the measures aim to ensure fuel prices remain affordable and safeguard public and selected sectors’ well-being, through targeted and transparent subsidies.
“The government is also considering medium- and long-term measures to ensure the subsidy mechanism remains sustainable, transparent and beneficial to the people, taking into account developments in the global energy crisis and its implications on the energy market,” the ministry said.
