At today’s Dewan Rakyat sitting, prime minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim touched upon the topic of fuel prices while responding to questions posed by Khoo Poay Tiong (PH-Kota Melaka) regarding the definition of T15 in relation to the planned targeted subsidies for RON 95 petrol as well as the mechanism that will be used for the 2% dividend tax rate.
Responding to calls from some parties to lower fuel prices, which was something he once proposed when he was in the opposition, Anwar highlighted in the past that neighbouring countries had higher fuel prices compared to Malaysia, even if some produced oil such as Indonesia.
“Sometimes, when [ministers’] speeches are made, it is left out that I always compare with Saudi Arabia. That is erased. So, there is no sincerity in debating but only playing political charades because Saudi’s petrol price is RM2.62 (per litre) [today] and when we proposed the fuel reduction back then, the price in Saudi was 50 cents (per litre). Why is this not mentioned today?” Anwar said.
“If oil prices drop sharply, it means that the people’s projects have to be reduced. So, we have a choice here, that’s why we will increase [the price of RON 95] according to the market price for foreigners, non-citizens and also T15,” he added.

“there is no sincerity in debating but only playing political charades because Saudi’s petrol price is RM2.62 (per litre) [today] and when we proposed the fuel reduction back then, the price in Saudi was 50 cents (per litre). Why is this not mentioned today?” Saudi Arabia average salary is SAR 10,000 which is RM 11,600 while Malaysia’s average salary is RM 6,600. Why didn’t PMX mention this?
ok so what are you trying to say? the higher salary, so the higher fuel price? so if saudi salary 11600 = 2.62, so malaysia salary 6600 = 1.49? first thing first, how it can be comparable? so the country with low salary can get low fuel price too?
It is all about the Malaysians buying power.
its basically purchasing power which boils down to cost of living, which our ratios have gone (pay more get less). there you go i have simplified it and spoonfed to you.
Pee-N bisa minyak RM1.5
Yakin sokong PRU 2027
minyak 1.50.. bila kluar jalan besar kena hambat dengan polis suruh balik.. bodo punya comparison time covid
If you make 6600 you will receive subsidy regardless, so what’s your point? Subsidies cripple a country and economy, we need to live a life in reality not subsidies.
Folks..let me enlighten u why Saudi petrol is RM2.60 now as claimed by PMX.
After the Saddam Hussein war ended,Saudi has to spend huge sums amounting to Billions of USD to buy arms from USA for security.USA say pangsai,Saudi only can shit.
So with so much money going to taikor USA as protection money,u expect petrol at 50sen now? Surely,Saudi prince knows his maths..he cant give his rakyat 50 sen petrol.
So,thats where the RM2.60 came about.
But here,do we have war with our neighbours? Our defence budget is paltry compared to Spore.
So ahwahkor is using this Rm2.60 to debate …you folks faham? You cant use Saudi as example. If USA didnt knock out Saddam,Saudi Arabia is a province of Iraq now.
Folks,watch the ex UN president Mr Mabhubani(Singaporean)speeches in you tube.Then u wont be so easily swayed.
HOW BOUT BRIM ETC AND WHATEVER BANTUAN? SAUDIS DOESN’T HAVE THAT. WHEN THE CRIPPLE ONES SAY PANGSAI, GOVERNMENT ONLY CAN SHIT….
So what he is concluding that he would have definately reduced the fuel price back then but it’s not possible at present.
Right.
Rakyat asking: Where is the today win tomorrow price down?
Pee-N bisa minyak RM1.5
Yakin sokong PRU 2027
Sedaghe sedaghe
Hari ni saya menang
Besok harga minyak turun
Saya ulanggg….
Goreng Goreng
I dont understand the rational. Why are we comparing it with Saudi petrol price again?
During GE15, the Crude oil price was around USD70 per barrel. It is also around the same price now…. That’s a better comparison don’t you think? Because that’s closer to the basis of subsidy required.
Cheap fuel price is part of the manifesto of this gomen. So naturally, when it is voted in office, the rakyat rightly expects it to happen.
No sincerity when debating this subject? please look in the mirror…
Maknanya hari ini saya blh berkempen spt sembang 8481 pun blh terbang…
Ya benar tu tuan. Sungguh teliti pemerhatian tuan. Cuma sy hrpkan agar cukup2 la 8481 yg sedia ada ni…
We let him cook too much. Now oledy burnt.
Its already burnt when he took over. He stopped the country from becoming charcoal. But the thing is rakyat only care about short term benefits like lower fuel prices, so the perception is life has gotten more difficult.
Notice the similarities?
Similarities ? Sir,you must be kidding.
But anyway,I just had a dream…by May next year,this ron 95 subsidy thing remains.Rafixi will shut his big mouth.
Israel and Iran ..the tit for tat has been non stop like the Ukraine war,oil price has spiked to above 100 USD a barrel..at Rm4.50/5.00 /litre…which PM wants to go downhill b4 GE16?
Petronas will get a bumper harvest,so dont worry.
U turns in politics is biasa in Bolehland.
buka mulut je mohong. Dia ni ckp tak guna otak. Dia umum dulu baru kaji
How about in year 2022 when you mention the same thing in your own party assembly? Kenapa minyak tak turun? “Tak turun sebab I tak jadi PM” Don’t spin lah. Anyway come out with a fair system and your stupid criteria of fuel subsidy distribution based on income is not pragmatic. Do you know there are millions of people who have no proper or fake income records? A billionaire son can also be a B40!!! Can you access their bank accounts data or not??? Do you there are so many loopholes in your diesel subsidy rationalization plan??? Are the data you collected verifiable and really true!!!Talk to the bankers and you will understand. Turun padang and don’t be lazy!!! Otherwise, guarantee you kerajaan satu penggal!!!!
Bila org lain jadi pm, dia cakap semua boleh turun harga. Dia hebat, bila sendiri jadi pm, dua brg saja tak boleh.
INI tak boleh, ITU pun tak boleh!
mengaku ajela bang non..tak payah spin
hello pmx
Full of excuses
So now all politician also can tokok and when menang can give the same alasan right?
May those that tokok dilaknat tuhan as they always said. Amen to that.
