[KUALA LUMPUR] Malaysians will soon pay less at the pump than before, after Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim cut the price of RON95 petrol to RM1.99 (S$0.61) a litre from Sep 30 – just a few weeks before he tables Budget 2026 in Parliament.
The move marks the first adjustment to the capped price of RM2.05 since February 2021, said Anwar in a statement on Monday.
The government said more than 16 million citizens will benefit from the cheaper fuel, which remains heavily subsidised compared with regional peers.
