Malaysia to announce petrol prices weekly instead of monthly from Mar 29

PETALING JAYA - Motorists will have to keep an eye on petrol and diesel prices weekly following the Domestic Trade, Co-operatives and Consumer Affairs Ministry's announcement that they will change every Thursday.

Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainuddin made the announcement on RTM's TV1 5pm news on Wednesday, and said that the new mechanism would allow consumers to enjoy a more stable retail price for fuel compared to the monthly pricing currently in use.

The new mechanism will come into effect on March 29.
