Saya ingin nafi ada penurunan subsidi RON95 sebanyak 10 sen pada mlm ini. Oleh itu RON95 bersubsidi masih rm2.10 seliter. Harga sebenar 2.73

Social media websites have been on fire today with rumours of a fuel price hike that’s supposed to happen tonight. A 10 sen hike for RON 95 and a 15 sen hike for RON 97 are the numbers being bandied about, but this has turned out to be not true. Deputy finance minister Datuk Ahmad Maslan has denied this on Twitter, so this should put the matter to a rest.
It’s not the first time the rumour mill has come about this year. On May, it was rumoured that the price of RON 95 and market float RON 97 was to be increased, reportedly by 80 sen for RON 97 (to RM3.70) and 40 sen for RON 95 (to RM2.30), which was proved to be untrue.
The last time fuel prices were hiked in Malaysia was on September 4, 2013, where RON 97 was raised by 15 sen to RM2.85 per litre. The last time the price of RON 95 was hiked was on September 2, where it along with diesel went up by 20 sen to RM2.10 per litre for RON95 and RM2.00 per litre for diesel.
However this just means it won’t happen tonight – it doesn’t discount the possibility of a hike in the near future. His subsequent tweets seems to prepare us for this.
Harga minyak dunia ditentu bukan Kjaan Msia tapi oleh pasaran, supply demand, isu Timur Tengah, damai atau perang. Kjaan cuma kawal subsidi

Subsidi Ron95, diesel & LPG rm24.8 ribu juta atau rm2 ribu juta sebulan. Amat besar & ia pula jauh lebih banyak dinikmati oleh yg berada

Kita perlu subsidi yg bersasar kpd ramai org miskin tapi sedikit org kaya. Subsidi petroleum skrng dinikmati ramai org kaya sikit org miskin

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments express concerns about the ripple effects of removing fuel subsidies, including higher prices for food, transportation, and goods, impacting the middle and lower income groups most. Several comments criticize the sudden and steep fuel hike, suggesting gradual increases or alternative revenue methods like higher taxes on luxury goods. Many are skeptical that subsidies actually benefit the rich, arguing they mainly burden the middle class. There is frustration over government spending on projects like MRT and nuclear plants despite heavy national debt, with some questioning the long-term benefits of subsidy cuts. A few comments advocate for better public transportation and more equitable policies, emphasizing that rising fuel prices worsen cost of living without automatically reducing traffic congestion. Overall, sentiments lean toward dissatisfaction with current fuel policy and concern over its wide-ranging effects on daily life.
