GEORGE TOWN: Fuel prices are unlikely to be raised further – at least until next March.

Short of assuring the public that the 78 sen per litre petrol increase would remain until the government’s new subsidy scheme expires in March 2009, Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Shahrir Abdul Samad said any increase before then would be “impractical”.
