Premium RON 97 sees no changes at RM3.35 per litre, as does RON 95 which continues at the ceiling price of RM2.05 per litre that was set by the government in Feb 2021. Also unchanged are all three blends of diesel available in Malaysia.

As usual, these prices take effect from midnight tonight until the next price announcement from the Ministry next Wednesday - Jan 18, 2023.
