KUALA LUMPUR – The retail prices of RON97 and RON95 petrol and diesel remains unchanged at RM2.67, RM2.05 and RM2.15 per litre respectively for the June 24-30 period.
The Finance Ministry said in a statement today the prices are set based on the weekly retail prices of petroleum products using the Automatic Pricing Mechanism (APM).
“To protect consumers from the effects of the actual price increase of oil on the global market, the government has maintained RON95 at the ceiling price of RM2.05 per litre and diesel at RM2.15 per litre, although the actual market prices for both products have exceeded the ceiling set,” it said.
It said the government would continue monitoring the effects of changes in world crude oil prices and take appropriate measures to protect the welfare and well-being of the people. – Bernama, June 23, 2021
