Fuel prices to go up if global oil prices rise – KPDNKK

Fuel prices to go up if global oil prices rise – KPDNKK

According to minister of domestic trade, cooperatives and consumerism (KPDNKK) Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin, recent global events may have an impact on world oil prices. He said this could have an impact on fuel prices in Malaysia, Bernama reports.

“The price of fuel in Malaysia is determined based on the global price of crude oil. Thus, if there is a price increase on the world stage it is certain that the price of gasoline and diesel in Malaysia will also rise,” he told reporters earlier this week.

“However, I do not want to speculate about it (the price of fuel). The government has already implemented a managed float on a weekly basis for the pricing of fuel to replace the previous monthly system,” he added.

The new fuel ceiling price mechanism, in which fuel prices are announced on a weekly basis instead of monthly, began on March 29. The current weekly retail price announced last Wednesday (from April 6 to 12) for RON95 petrol rose three sen to RM2.16 per litre, while RON97 rose two sen to RM2.43 per litre, and diesel fell three sen to RM2.08 per litre.

The pricing announcement are made every Wednesday, with the new weekly prices coming into effect at midnight the following day.

    After the US strike on Syria, the price hike up a bit. Expected new price tomorrow, RM2.24 for RON95.

          It is only 8 sen. Malaysians like to complain. 8 sen also people bising.

          All those complaining are lazy. Work harder and 8 sen increase will be kacang to you! oh wai!

      Malaysia is the only oil producing country that sells its fuel to its rakyat overpriced.

      All over the world, oil producing country sell their fuel super cheap to their rakyat except Malaysia. For example, Saudi sells USD25 cents (RM1.10). Brunei sells below RM1

      Anyway, let us assume global prices. Let us assume we are not oil producing nation. We are still overpaying by more than 80sen per litre. By right, processed Ron 95 fuel should not be more than RM1.50 per litre. We are paying about 70 sen more per litre

      Assuming one fills his 40 litre tank 7 times a month, one would overpay the Government by (RM28 x 7). About RM200

      Calculate that by 10 million motorist. Gomen makes BILLIONS extra per month.

      And yet, our hospitals have no medicine!

        Diesel,
        The mechanism to calculate fuel price in malaysia is shown in Paul Tan. Refer to the link below. And yes, it is related to currency fluctuation as as well.

    • That is the Malaysian politics. Any promise is as good as forgotten once the election is over. And grander promises will be made when another election is near. Too bad the rakyat always fell for the sweet promises and elect these bunch of robbers and thieves into office again and again. Time to wake up!

    “The price of fuel in Malaysia is determined based on the global price of crude oil”.

    Last time based on global price but then when global price going down GOV still increase fuel price and said price depends on Singapore’s (MOPS).

    Now when MOPS price is flat GOV said fuel price based on global price again. WTH?

    bla bla bla…this is getting old. Last time we have to hear nonsense once every month. Now we have to hear it every week. Let’s see how much nonsense they can churn out every time there is a price change. There is no credibility in their statements anymore.

  • Is there any consideration regarding to the strengthening of the ringgit? The oil prices did increase this year but also the ringgit strengthen a lot this year. Therefore at worst fuel price should break even or slightly higher. Now fuel price is about to go up to 2.38 per litre. This is not logical.
