SINGAPORE, Jan 27 (The Straits Times/ANN): Except for two Chinese companies, fuel pump operators have raised prices again, undoing the short-lived reduction seen just before the Chinese New Year weekend.

According to pump price tracker Fuel Kaki – an initiative by the Consumers Association of Singapore – Caltex, Esso and Shell have raised posted rates by about five cents a litre, with Caltex making the first move on Wednesday.
