PUTRAJAYA: The government will try to maintain the price of RON95 petrol for Malaysians at the current level of RM1.99 per litre despite global market uncertainty due to the conflict in the Middle East, says Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim.
Anwar, who is also the Finance Minister, said the increase in global oil prices following Strait of Hormuz disruptions is expected to affect the country, but the government is nonetheless determined to hold the subsidised RON95 price under the Budi Madani RON95 (Budi95) programme.
