New Petrol and Diesel Prices
June 4, 2008

The time has come much earlier than we first thought. You might have heard it through rumors and smses sent by friends and family. There’ll be new petrol and diesel prices from midnight tonight!
The new price for petrol is RM2.70 a litre. It will be increased by 78sen and diesel by RM1. The price of diesel goes up to RM2.58 from RM1.58.
The 40% increase in petrol price is part of the new fuel subsidy plan by the government in response to the increasing crude oil price worldwide. Under this revamped subsidy plan, drivers of smaller vehicles will receive a cash payment to offset the rising costs which will be reimbursed when you renew your road tax.
Domestic Trade Minister Shahrir Samad said that the new price of RM2.70 did not reflect the full market value, which could be as high as RM3 to RM4 when the price controls are completely removed in August.
I guess we all have to think twice before mashing the throttle from now on.

just accept the fact and check your wallet before you start revving!
drive safely guys!
I just cannot imagine my little Wira (4wd fuel tank) going to require Rm130 to top up full tank over the next 2 months and possibly Rm180 per full tank in August. Tonight’s massive fuel grab at the petrol stations is the biggest I have seen, with myself having to wait about 45mins to get fuel (I really needed them as my tank is empty)
Anyway, as a badly AFFECTED Malaysian, I would really have to forgo many stuff in order to continue living my daily life….
i feel very pity to our fellas who is salary below rm 1500. hope the government come with the good incentive to them…
hope malaysian people change like people from nigeria always have tunjuk perasaan hehhehehe….
love u malaysia….
Just bought a ticket, and it cost me an extra RM10! Dammit!
anyways, this is what i heard/being told.. i stand to be corrected..
and what about those running sales business???
These another thing I want to talk about. subsidy?…… for your guys outhere, actually there is no such things as the goverment paying subsidies… but in fact, petronas are paying royalty to the goverment. For last year, petronas earn 80bil but actually, they earn more 150bil. the rest paying the goverment royalty. You guys want to know one thing, when ever price of fuel in malaysia rise, the bonus for each staff for petronas get higher and higher.. my fren work there, he said last year, petronas staff gets 5 to 6 month bonus. that only for the lower grade, but for the manager grade, up to 20 month. But of course, thats their luck.
Adding more, our nation is oil exporter country, why we compare the price of fuel with singapore or thailand, these country aren’t oil exporter. Try comparing with indonesia, Sudan, nigeria, or myanmar. The gov try to blur people eyes with ensentif, RM625 per year, about RM52 per month.. are you kidding. RM52 just enough only 19 liters. how far u can go with 19 liter per month. Currently I’m driving to work n back around 90km/day n around $30/day including jem, n almost $900/month. after fuel rise, from my calculation, it will be RM43/day n $1290/month. 1/3 of my salary.. So what are we going to eat, pay our bills, children…
The conclusion is, the gov is not at the best judgement to sort this matter. When Dr. M was PM, the price rise only from 70cents to $1.20 for 17 years.. So just tell us the truth, gov, why you want so much money from your people. We are suffering, but u up there are fiiling your banks in millions… just my 2 cents.
Oh, anyone found out the price of Shell V-power? If you have any clue please do post it up, I’m sure many zerotohundred fellow members would like to know as well. Thanks!

we are doing gd so far,even petrol price goes up but nt until to a extend of 0.78cent per liter!!!! at one time…
i saw a massive jam at petrol pump in JOHOR yday.1st in my life,n still there are foreign car there pumping our petrol…if goverment wants to make foreign ppl stop buying it,they should stop them ,nt by raise the price n give MALAYSIAN peanut ..i mean that amout that they wanne give really sound childish…

“Apatah lagi menurut Laporan Kewangan Kerajaan 2007, anggaran keseluruhan subsidi 2007 adalah RM12.0 billion, justeru itu kami menganggarkan bahawa jumlah subsidi petrol adalah hanya sekitar RM8-10 billion,” katanya.
Gabungan Persatuan Pengguna Malaysia (Fomca) pula menggesa duit sebanyak RM13.7 bilion hasil penjimatan bagi mengurangkan beban kos sara hidup pengguna.
