Malaysia has lowered retail fuel prices for the May 14 to May 20 period, cutting costs across RON95, diesel and RON97 in its latest weekly review, The Star reported Thursday.
Unsubsidized RON95 price is reduced to 3.87 ringgit per liter from 4.02 ringgit per liter, diesel price in Peninsular Malaysia is cut to 4.87 ringgit from 5.17 ringgit per liter, while RON97 is lowered by 0.20 ringgit to 4.70 ringgit per liter, the news outlet said.
The Ministry of Finance Malaysia said the adjustments follow the Automatic Pricing Mechanism based on prior-week averages, even as crude oil stays above $100 a barrel amid ongoing Middle East tensions, with authorities urging prudent fuel use, The report said.
