RON95 will retail at RM1.59 per litre, while RON97 will sell at RM1.89 per litre. Diesel will be priced at RM1.77 per litre.

The prices are effective from midnight to June 26.

The ministry said the rise is due to the increase in refined product prices in line with the higher global crude oil prices.

“The government will continue to monitor the impact of global crude oil price change and take appropriate measures to ensure the welfare and well-being of the people are looked after,” it said.
