The last price increase was in May.At the same time, the government also announced a 20 sen increase in the subsidy for fishermen from 44.1 sen to 64.1 sen per litre. This means that fishermen will be able to buy subsidised diesel at around RM1.20.This was because the government was very concerned about the burden borne by fishermen who were buying subsidised diesel at a much higher price compared to the price enjoyed by land transport operators.According to the statement, the government had been bearing the subsidy for petroleum products which was rising. The subsidy borne in 2004 amounted to RM4.8 billion and the figure was expected to increase to RM6.63 billion by the end of the year.The figure for this year had taken into account the increase which took effect on July 31, 2005. In addition, the government would also be bearing the burden in terms of tax exemption for the year 2005 amounting to RM7.85 billion.This means that the overall loss burden borne by the government is RM14.48 billion.At the same time, the government also announced a 20 sen increase in the subsidy for fishermen from 44.1 sen to 64.1 sen per litre.
