It wasn't so easy to cut RON95 price, says PM Anwar


JITRA: It is not easy for the government to slash the price of RON95 petrol, even if it is only six sen, because it needs to take into account the financial implications for the country, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.

The Prime Minister, who is also Finance Minister, said that was the reason why he had to take a few more days to ensure a thorough evaluation before announcing the RON95 price reduction from RM2.05 to RM1.99 per litre last Wednesday (July 23).
