Surprise surprise, diesel is dropping by 5 sen from 8 – 14 August. This puts the price of the fuel to RM3.30/litre in Peninsular Malaysia, though the old RM2.15/litre price for diesel is still applicable in Sabah, Sarawak, and Labuan.

the government is floating the prices of diesel in Peninsular Malaysia now that the RM200/month diesel subsidy is underway. To recap, the diesel subsidy under the government’s Budi programme offers a RM200/month diesel subsidy for Malaysians who are earning less than RM100,000 annually. They also must own a diesel-based personal vehicle that is less than 10 years old.

If you’re eligible for the RM200/month diesel subsidy, you can submit your application on https://budimadani.gov.my/. Do note that at the moment, applications will remain open throughout the year, so you won’t have to worry about missing any deadline until further notice.
