The Malaysian information department has posted the above infographic on its Facebook page to show that in spite of the still-ongoing West Asian conflict, petrol and diesel prices in Malaysia are still among the lowest in ASEAN, and even when compared to oil-rich Saudi Arabia. The RON 95 pump price for the next seven days was announced yesterday to be RM3.92 a litre, but of course, under Budi Madani RON 95 (Budi95), any Malaysian with a valid MyKad (IC) and driving licence can buy up to 200 litres of RON 95 per month at just RM1.99 a litre. In ASEAN, this is only beaten by Brunei‘s RM1.65 a litre. Where diesel is concerned, Singapore pays an astonishing RM12.07 a litre – the biggest number on the entire board. In Malaysia, the Peninsular pays RM4.87 a litre (this week) while Sabah and Sarawak pay RM2.15. However, the Malaysian government offers help in the forms of Budi Diesel and the Subsidised Diesel Control System (SKDS). Budi Diesel is a monthly cash reimbursement (currently RM400 – started with RM200, then RM300) that you can apply for if you are a Malaysian citizen who drives a less-than-10-year-old non-luxury diesel vehicle and earns under RM100k a year. You can also apply for Budi Diesel if you are a farmer or smallholder registered with relevant agencies under the agriculture and food security (KPKM) or the plantation and commodities (KPK) ministries, and have a RM50k-300k annual turnover from farming or commodity production. Alternatively, SKDS unlocks diesel at RM2.15 a litre for goods vehicles, RM1.88 for land public transport (including buses, taxis, ambulances and fire engines) and RM1.65 for fishermen. Malaysia therefore has five diesel prices – unsubsidised (RM4.87 this week), ‘RM400-subsidised’, RM2.15, RM1.88 and RM1.65. In Brunei, however, a litre of diesel costs just 96 sen – the lowest number on the whole board. Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
