- New Petrol price in Malaysia by tonight -
The price of petrol will rise by 78 sen by tonight, from the present RM1.92 per litre to RM2.70.
The move, announced by Domestic Trade and Consumer Affairs Minister Datuk Shahrir Samad, is one of the government measures to cut the rising subsidy bill for petrol, diesel and gas, which is expected to cost RM56 billion this year.
To offset the higher fuel price, the government will offer rebates to motorists.
Under the scheme, vehicles below 2,000cc will receive a RM625 rebate annually to compensate for 800 litres of fuel used under the new price.
Motorcycles will be given a rebate of RM120. The money will be paid through postal orders.

SINGAPOREAN drivers seeking to buy petrol across the Causeway in Johor Baru will be spared from Malaysia’s new ban on the sale of petrol to foreigners - for one week.
This is not a reverse in the decision but the MP of Johor Bahru also the minister who plan for the fuel sell ban on foreign registered cars. Now he said the target is on the Thai registered vehicles and will monitor for a week in the northern state. The action is to limit the fuel subsidy to only benefit locals. However this rule ignore the fact that may local malaysia own foreign registered vehicle s still deserve the fuel subsidy.
I believe this is the reaction of the people’s strong protest. His minster should ask for the feedback before implement this kind of bias solution

SINGAPOREAN drivers seeking to buy petrol across the Causeway in Johor Baru will be spared from Malaysia’s new ban on the sale of petrol to foreigners – for one week.
This is because the Malaysian government wants to monitor the effectiveness of the ban, which starts on Monday in the northern Malaysian states, before implementing it in Johor Baru on June 9.
But for another group — foreign motorcyclists :— there is no cause for concern
Malaysia ban petrol sales to foreign cars from 5/30
2Malaysia take the extreme measure to ban petrol selling to foreign cars within 50km of the border. This is shocking new as to me. The ruling will take effect this Friday and the ban does not taking into the consideration of driver’s nationality. The rule to control the petrol subsidy should not affect any Malaysian at all. I believe there are many more Malaysian like me driving Singapore Registered Car. This ruling means I’ll not able to get petrol supply with 50km after I leave Singapore.
For the simply reason of not benefit subsidy to the foreigners shall base on the nationality and not the vehicle registered country. This is rather inflexible and unfair treatment.
Please remember those Malaysian drive Singapore car like myself do come back to vote in the election. And we are the one who decide who rule this country. Now all the border states except Perlis and Johor are under People Alliance. I wonder what is the intention
