KUALA LUMPUR — Motorists across Malaysia will pay less for fuel starting tomorrow. The Ministry of Finance announced a 25 sen drop for unsubsidised RON95 and RON97 petrol. At the same time, Peninsular diesel prices will fall by 30 sen.
New Retail Rates
Under the new schedule, unsubsidised RON95 will cost RM3.47 per litre. Drivers will buy RON97 petrol at RM4.10 per litre. Meanwhile, the price for diesel in Peninsular Malaysia drops to RM4.07 per litre. These weekly rates remain active until June 30.
The price cuts follow recent shifts in international oil trends. The government calculates these changes using the Automatic Pricing Mechanism. Global crude oil markets have stabilized, which lowers local supply costs.
Subsidies Protect Main Street
Importantly, these changes will not hurt low-income families. More than 14 million citizens under the BUDI95 program are safe. They will still buy subsidised RON95 petrol at the protected price of RM1.99 per litre.
Public transport and cargo lines also keep their locked rates. Registered taxis, buses, and trucks will pay the same old prices. Their fuel stays capped at RM2.05 for petrol and RM2.15 for diesel. East Malaysia is also unaffected. Diesel prices in Sabah, Sarawak, and Labuan stay steady at RM2.15 per litre.
Future Diesel System
Looking forward, the government will launch the BUDI MADANI Diesel platform on July 1, 2026. This system will stream subsidies directly to qualified private owners using MyKad verification. The program will lock their diesel price at RM2.10 per litre. It also continues to support smallholders and fishermen.
Global energy markets still face some risks. Shipping costs and supply delays could cause future bumps. Treasury officials urge drivers to plan trips wisely. Doing so helps manage personal budgets and protects the local fuel supply.
