Starting today, the retail price of diesel in Peninsular Malaysia will drop by five sen to RM3.25 per litre. In Sabah, Sarawak, and Labuan, however, the price will stay at RM2.15 per litre until August 21.

According to an announcement from the Ministry of Finance (MOF) today, the reduction in diesel prices to RM3.25 per litre in Peninsular Malaysia is in line with the current downward trend in global oil markets.

The statement indicated that the government will keep monitoring market trends and adjust diesel retail prices as needed, taking into account fluctuations in oil prices and efforts to maintain price stability.

Meanwhile, the retail prices for RON97 and RON95 petrol will stay the same at RM3.47 and RM2.05 per litre, respectively.
