Prices of RON97, diesel in peninsula drop 2 sen from Thursday (Sept 5)

PETALING JAYA: The price of RON97 petrol and diesel in Peninsular Malaysia will drop by two sen from Thursday (Sept 5) until Sept 1.

The Finance Ministry in a statement on Wednesday (Sept 4) said the price reduction for RON97 and diesel in the peninsula is in line with the reduction in the global crude oil prices.

“The Government will continue to monitor market developments and adjust the diesel fuel’s retail price based on global oil market fluctuations, whilst supporting price stability,” it said.

The prices are based on the weekly retail pricing of petroleum products setting using the Automatic Pricing Mechanism (APM).

The Finance Ministry said the government would continue to monitor the trends of global crude oil prices and take the appropriate measures to ensure the welfare and well-being of the people continued to be protected. – Bernama
