It is not feasible to introduce additional fuel subsidies in Malaysia to reduce fuel prices in the country, and between RM30 billion to RM40 billion is being spent in subsidies to fuel prices at their current levels, such as RON 95 petrol at RM2.05 per litre, prime minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim said according to The Star.
“The 2023 fuel prices in Saudi Arabia are higher than in Malaysia, and how much cheaper can we go? Subsidies are already skyrocketing,” the Malaysian prime minister said in a video clip on X (formerly Twitter) yesterday.
“Despite producing much more oil, Saudi Arabia’s fuel prices are still higher than ours,” Anwar said. He acknowledged criticism over his previous election campaign promise in 2008 to bring down fuel prices, and said that the present economic situation is different now compared to what it was at that time.
“That was in 2008, when oil prices in Saudi Arabia were 50 cents a litre, which was RM1.80 at the time,” the prime minister said. One litre of RON 95 petrol in Saudi Arabia is currently priced at 2.33 riyal (RM2.93), The Star reported.
Last month, the prime minister said that the price of petrol cannot be lowered to RM1.50 per litre due to the current price of crude oil. “Petrol in Saudi Arabia is RM2.84 per litre, while in Malaysia it is RM2.05 per litre,” he told the Dewan Rakyat last month.
Saya sedar ramai yang menggunakan petikan ucapan saya berkenaan janji menurunkan harga minyak yang diungkapkan 15 tahun lalu, dan menuntut janji itu sekarang.
Mengapa harga minyak ketika ini masih belum turun? Ini jawapan saya.#MalaysiaMADANI pic.twitter.com/I5Q05qUcyt

Unfortunately most of the Malaysian think that our country debt is not a big issue.
Government should give subsidy no matter what, padahal tax pun x bayar, mana Government dapat duit ? Korek ke ?
Rezeki diberi Tuhan
Kita rajin kita dpt
Kita x perlu subsidi
Kita hanya sokong PN
PN x bagi ape2 pon xpe

Fuyoh! Ilmu engko mmg mendlm.. Sedlm 6 kaki bwh tanah!
We’re okay with fuel price adjustments, but it’s frustrating how a significant portion of our profits goes into taxes for fuel subsidies and supporting the struggling local car industry. But what really bothers us is that PMX should acknowledge and apologize for the statements and accusations made before taking office, especially towards those he has slandered.
2022 pun cakap benda yg sama, tak payah ungkit 15 tahun dulu pun
Baru kau tahu. Dulu kau melalak macam lah tak ada subsidi paid.
Dia dengan penyokong nya hari2 kerja melalak. Dah jadi kerajaan pun hari2 melalak. Ntah siapa kerajaan sekarang ni kerja tak tahu buat. Ringgit makin teruk jatuh, penyokongnya tak pulak melalak kan.
Diorang janji Najib turun ringgit naik. Memang dah deliver pun. Ringgit naik dari RM4 ke RM4.70 to USD1.
Tahniah kerajaan permaidani.. satu Malaysia dah kaw kaw diTAMBUN (henTAM BUNtxx)
Patut lah kamu ni arif sangat pasal BUNtxx.. Nama kamu ‘Donkey’ = @ss..
adoii Donkey nya palehotak walaun PN sekoq nih. LOL bodo pon jangan kasi balun abes LOLz..
Then have it below RM2, how about 1.80-1.90, every little bit helps in this tough economic situation.
KEK human habitually tends to waste it no appreciation when petrol is cheap, tends to use more petrol and contributes more pollution.
Our petrol cheap dy got people still tak puas hati. Then go Singapore or thailand fuel up la. See their prices how. Stupid
How to fuel up in Singapore, RM currency also drop. All other things in Malaysia also becoming expensive. Go to clinic for medical also expensive. Car price also increase, house price also increase. Elected government is there just to justify why they cannot do anything. Before vote will say can do many things. After becoming government give all kind of reasons why they can do nothing. They got paid just to busy politicking. Sigh!
Our petrol is considered very cheap compared to our neighbors. Private Clinic mmg expensive wei, we get cheap rm1 klinik kesihatan just go there la why mati2 wanna go private. Our government clinic facilities are so good edy. Car price mmg increase due to inflation, if want car 2nd hand oso got or buy saga that is very good edy if mati2 want new car. House price mmg expensive year by year. It’s just been 10 months since the new government has been elected. You’re expecting big changes in a fortnight izit. Be patient la PMX is doing a great job stabilizing the economy. Our goods prices inflation is already low since PMX took over. Do you realize that? Just be patient the goods of this government will come
always compare with Singapore. Do you know SGD = 3.2x MYR ?
Since you like to compare with Singapore, lets take brunei into comparison also lah. The petrol (and electrik) there is DIRT CHEAP.
even if government were to lower the fuel price, traders are not going to lower the price of goods and food. as long as the subsidy remains, it is good enough.
Our oil prices already one of the lowest in the whole world. Dang Malaysians can be ungrateful sometimes
All the time

Hanya org bodoh dan kurang cerdik je percaya dengan dia ni. Rasakan hahaha…
Last year, abah told the press that the government can save RM20 billion a year by implementing the targeted subsidy scheme, because only 20 per cent of the subsidy provided by the government was taken up by the B40 group, while the rest was enjoyed by groups which did not deserve it, resulting in almost 50 per cent of government subsidies being used by people in the well-to-do category.
U pandai sangat ke ? Bayar berapa tax tahunan ? RM2 ke ? hahahahaha poor baby
I believe I can fly
that is because u r high.
Anwar needs better communications strategy – but that’s not enough! Because rakyat is more clever than him.
good suggestion. last time abah moo got the best communication strategy. how? always using PDF. and dont forget eddy aweng, always use animals as metaphore. very brilliant strategy because not many understand him, only his follower can digest what he said.
Mail Penyu had the best communication strategy.
1. Always go full retard
2. Always practice chicken and duck talk. If the whole room clucks, you must quack and boast about how no one understands you
3. Be a village hero and be a part of the lowest common denominator of society
That also sounds like a hybrid between a hominidae homininae & an equus asinus.

Apa boleh buat. Sudah geng dengan perasuah. Hadap jelah dengan KERA jaan MAhal DAh NI yang temberang ni. Dulu cakap lain, sekarang cakap lain.
Adakah kamu masih lagi berpendapat yg penubuhan kerajaan perpaduan ini yg telah dicadangkan oleh DYMM YDPA menurut perlembagaan negara, tidak sepatutnya berlaku?
Anwar menang, subsidi hapus
Mythomania bermaksud kelainan psikologi yang menyebabkan seseorang mempunyai perilaku berbohong secara terus-menerus dan dalam jangka waktu yang lama.
Berikut adalah ciri-ciri mythomania:
– Pembohongan mereka tidak mempunyai kelebihan tertentu
– Kisah biasanya dramatik, rumit, dan sangat terperinci
– Biasanya mereka menjadi penyelamat atau mangsa utama dalam cerita
– Mereka percaya bahawa kisah mereka benar-benar berlaku
– Pembohongan diceritakan berulang kali.
Memang tak syak lagi kamu ni dah kenal sangat dgn ‘mythomania’ kerana kamu masih berbohong dgn diri sendiri yg kamu ni PM Zimbabwe, tapi sebenarnya jawatan PM Zimbabwe tidak wujud lagi sejak 10 tahun yang lalu bila perlembagaan Zimbabwe diubah.
Good description of the Uranus Asstronaut, but also a perfect description of Kutty and the Pujawang gang.. truly, these men are cut from the same cloth
No wonder you’re familiar with this ‘Uranus Asstronaut, because your name Donkey=ass.
Hot take: out of all things to complain about Malaysia petrol prices certainly ain’t one of it.
waiting comment from cytro rakyat malaysia, janji dicapati in 1..2..3…
Jilat sampai licin
PMX, listen to the rakyat…not Rafizi n Co.
Maintain petrol price come 2024.
Rakyat not out of the covidian woods yet.
Prices of imported rice,cooking oil,gardenia bread,cooking ingredients etc,tambang bas sekolah all spiralling upwards to the moon.
Businesses ..,many hardly can break even.
If still want to increase,increase 10-15sen/litre every 6 months .
You cant jack up Rm1.50/litre at one go.The backlash will be phenomenal…it may even cause your maiden Madani germen to collapse.
Whats the point of being M40,with 6-8 schooling kids..when u can hardly breathe each month..if we ended up being denied fuel subsidy.
Remember,KJ’s father in law…jacked up to RM2.70/litre..within 2 weeks sharp u turn…cos of massive backlash.
Listen to the woes of the rakyat,PMX…if u want another term at GE16.
All jokers from A party to N party, once come to power have all facts and figures same when in opposition justify the figures as wrong and present their theories so when comes to power Give justifications to proof that what they present is correct and they make rakyat continues fool, and it wll never ending stories till dooms day come
That’s why, whoever wins.. we still loose
janji kosong saja yang pandai!
PMX forgot he and rafizi said this in 2022, before election.

Try reduce 5 cents of RON95 petrol price to RM2 for 1 month. If success, extend to 1 year. If success again, reduce 10 cents again to RM1.90. That’s all!
Your idea will be successful when you personally take over the more than RM1 trillion debt from the government.
Do you think increase fuel for high income group and reduce price for low income group will help low income group? A BIG NO. All business owner is the high income group. They will transfer the cost to consumer. A big inflation coming !!!
There should still be subsidised fuel for commercial vehicles that transport goods. So if high income business owners want to use unsubsidised fuel as excuse to increase prices, they’ll have to explain to the government, the same way Gardenia was asked to when it recently increased prices of some of its products.
The parent who does what is good and needed for the child is always the hated one. The parent who spoils the child brings up, surprise, a spoilt child
What about the parent who compulsively lies constantly to give false hope to their children and always make empty promises.. and to make themselves look good, they lie about others until the children hate the other person without even knowing them?
That is called a useless tokok parent. And the child is called a moron.
You can see these parents at the helm now and the children are those who used to wear yellow shirts and rolled on the streets, and those who were protesting against imaginary mutants and nuclear explosions
The worst was past hideous Plan to plant racism & extremism politik into Pasti nursery schools in the name of religion.. LOLzz
sembang kari lah podaaahhhhh dulu BN ke PN pun kasi alasan yg sama kau hantam jugak takde sedap minyak tak boleh turun bila harga minyak dunia tinggi. Keuntungan yg kita dapat boleh digunakan utk turunkan harga.
Jika subsidi minyak tak boleh… kasi turun toll la…at least dapat offset apa yang kita belanja utk minyak
By the way bila nak potong gaji dan elaun CEO PLUS, ceo TNB, CEO TM???
JANJI DICHAPATI!!…
NEVER TRUST ANY POLITICIAN WHEN THEY ARE FIGHTING FOR POWER!
