Petrol Dealers Association of Malaysia president Datuk Hashim Othman confirmed the new pricing when contacted.

The Domestic Trade, Co-operatives and Consumerism Ministry decided to set the prices of petrol and diesel on a managed float system from Dec 1 last year following a removal of all fuel subsidies.

Since then, fuel prices have been going down as world prices also took a beating.
