The Ministry of Finance (MOF), in a statement today, said that the retail price of diesel in Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan would remain at RM2.15 per litre, while the price in Peninsular Malaysia would increase by five sen from RM3.08 to RM3.13 per litre during the same period.
“In line with the increase in global oil prices, the government has set the retail price of RON97 at RM3.43 per litre and diesel in Peninsular Malaysia at RM3.13 per litre.
