Fuel hikes on cards, key players meeting today



KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 3 — The government will likely call for another round of across-the-board fuel price hikes later today as part of its subsidy rationalisation efforts, industry sources say.

Domestic Trade, Cooperative and Consumerism Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob and Pemandu CEO Datuk Seri Idris Jala have called for a “very important meeting” at 3.00pm in Putrajaya to discuss the second wave of subsidy rationalisation.

“The government’s intention to allow market mechanisms to determine prices of essential goods and output to ensure better allocation of national resources, reduce wastage and increase the efficiency of the economy is expected to continue into 2011 as it remains committed towards subsidy rationalisation,” the media invite read.

Fuel subsidy was last cut in July 16, when prices went up by 5 sen per litre for petrol and diesel, and 10 sen per kg for liquefied petroleum gas (LPG).

Today’s possible fuel price hike move will come only two days after the price of RON97 petrol was increased by 15 sen per litre to RM2.30. It was the second RON97 price hike announced in a month following a 5 sen increase on November 1.

RON97 is subject to a managed float to reflect the price of petrol in the global market.

Yesterday, Bernama reported that the government was considering standardising the price of diesel, which is sold at different rates according to use.

Diesel is sold at RM1.75 at the pump, RM1.25 to fishermen, RM1.45 to the transportation sector and RM2.05 to the industrial sector.

Ismail Sabri said yesterday that people were taking advantage of the subsidised prices to trade in the fuel.

“We propose to study the diesel price subsidy system again,” he told reporters after chairing a meeting on diesel abuse.

Harga petrol dan LPG di jangka naik

KUALA LUMPUR, 3 Dis – Harga bahan api petrol dan diesel serta gas dijangka mengalami kenaikan lagi mulai tengah malam ini ekoran keputusan kerajaan menyelaraskan kadar subsidi – dasar yang diperkenalkan Putrajaya pertengahan tahun ini.

Kenaikan kali ini juga dikatakan membabitkan petrol RON 95 dan RON 97.

Harga petrol RON 97 naik sebanyak 15 sen kepada RM2.30 seliter mulai kelmarin.

Kenaikan RON 97 kelmarin adalah ekoran perubahan harga pasaran yang diapungkan sejak Julai lalu.

Pengumuman rasmi dijadual untuk dibuat petang ini.

“Saya jangkakan kerajaan akan mengumumkan harga petang ini… kenaikan dijangka dalam sekitar 10 hingga 15 sen dan difahamkan, kadar baru ini kuat kuasa mulai esok,” kata sumber industri kepada The Malaysian Insider.

“Kami diumumkan perubahan ini baru-baru ini,” kata sumber itu lagi.

Pada 1 November lalu, harga petrol RON 97 dinaikkan lima sen menjadi RM2.15 seliter.

Semalam, Menteri Perdagangan Dalam Negeri, Koperasi dan Kepenggunaan Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob berkata, kerajaan akan menimbang kemungkinan untuk menyeragamkan harga diesel yang diberi bantuan subsidi bagi mengelak berlakunya lagi kes-kes penyelewengan di negara ini.

Katanya, angkah tersebut dilihat relevan bagi memastikan bantuan subsidi tidak disalahgunakan pihak tidak bertanggungjawab ekoran perbezaan harga diesel yang ditetapkan mengikut sektor.

Pada masa ini harga diesel bersubsidi mengikut sektor ialah di pam minyak RM1.75, pengangkutan RM1.45, nelayan RM1.25 manakala industri RM2.05.

Pertengahan Julai lalu, kerajaan mengumumkan pelarasan harga menyaksikan kenaikan harga beberapa barangan keperluan utama.

Dalam kenyataan diumumkan ketika itu, Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Razak pelarasan harga itu membabitkan petrol, diesel dan Petroleum Gas Cecair (LPG), dan juga gula, yang diselaraskan semula sebagai sebahagian daripada Program Rasionalisasi Subsidi. Selaras dengan itu, Kabinet telah mengambil keputusan bahawa berkuat kuasa pada 16 Julai 2010, harga bagi bahan api, terutamanya petrol, diesel dan LPG, dan juga gula, akan diselaraskan semula sebagai sebahagian dari Program Rasionalisasi Subsidi.

Menurut Najib yang juga Menteri Kewangan, Penyelarasan semula harga barang-barang itu akan membolehkan kerajaan mengurangkan perbelanjaannya melebihi RM750 juta untuk tahun ini.

Berdasarkan proses itu, kerajaan memutuskan harga petrol RON 95 dan diesel akan diselaraskan sebanyak lima sen seliter bagi semua sektor. LPG akan diselaraskan sebanyak 10 sen sekilogram dan petrol RON 97 akan diapung secara terkawal.

Bagi gula pula, harga akan diselaraskan sebanyak 25 sen sekilogram.


-------------

Harga petrol RON95, diesel, Petroleum Gas Cecair (LPG) dan gula dijangka mengalami kenaikan lagi mulai tengah malam ini. Ia berikutan keputusan kerajaan menyelaraskan kadar subsidi.

Petrol RON95, dipercayai akan dinaikkan 5 sen menjadikan harga RM1.90 seliter.

Dua hari lalu, petrol RON 97 naik sebanyak 15 sen kepada RM2.30 seliter. Kenaikan itu berikutan perubahan harga pasaran yang diapungkan sejak Julai lalu.

Harga diesel pula dipercayai dinaikkan 5 sen menjadikannya RM1.80 seliter manakala gas LPG juga naik 5 sen menjadikan harganya RM1.90 sekilogram.

Harga gula pula dikatakan akan naik 20 sen menjadikan harganya RM2.10 sekilogram.

Semua harga baru dijangka berkuatkuasa pada jam 12.01 pagi esok. Ia didedahkan pada taklimat kepada editor di Putrajaya oleh Unit Pengurusan Prestasi dan Perlaksanaan (PEMANDU) .

Malaysiakini turut dijemput ke taklimat itu melalui panggilan telefon tetapi wartawan kami dihalang memasuki ibupejabat Unit Kordinasi dan Pelaksanaan di Pejabat Perdana Menteri, kemudiannya tanpa sebarang alasan.

Pengumuman rasmi daripada Jabatan Perdana Menteri berhubung kenaikkan ini dijangkakan pada jam 8 malam.

Kali terakhir harga barangan meningkat adalah pada 15 Julai lalu. Ia membabitkan kenaikan 5-dalam-1. Barangan yang terjejas itu adalah dua gred petrol, diesel, gula dan gas.

Senarai harga baru adalah seperti berikut:

* Petrol RON 95 - RM1.85 kepada RM1.90 seliter

* Diesel - RM1.75 kepada RM1.80 seliter

* Gula pasir - RM1.90 kepada RM2.10 sekilogram

* Gas LPG - RM1.85 kepada RM1.90 sekilogram

5cents a lot la.... RM6-RM10 extra per month!! RM72-RM120 a year!! Equivalent to road tax for car below 1500cc? Hope it is only 5 cents...

it is rational when you look at how much the oil price has increase this year

SAD lo, keep increase but my salary fixedzzzz

0.05/1.85 = ~2.7%

Salary should increase 2.7% as well but that's just not happening... sienz..

- Petrol RON95 from RM1.85 => RM1.90
- Petrol RON97 from RM2.30 => RM2.35
- Diesel from RM1.75 => RM1.80
- LPG Gas from RM1.85 => RM1.95

Benci la

Source? Hahaha... Ron 97 increase again in 3 days... hahaha...

if the government don collect tax for cars sure most ppl can afford expensive fuel what

worst scenario being car price damn high and increase of fuel price

THE MAIN concern here is not about fuel i guess, its about the price rising of other materials... sugar and salt for example, then all stuffs follow rise.. T_T

Everything increase except salary.

haha..is like that 1...la....

i dont mind if petrol price increase but please make sure salary for each malaysian's salary which below rm5k increase tooo!!

Ya, I support this.

RAKYAT DIDAHULUKAN, PENCAPAIAN DIUTAMAKAN

0.05 cent for petrol...
other good increase 10~50 cent

RON 95 is not as bad as you think.

Apart from Shell RON 95, the rest is consider good.

Caltex, BHP & Mobil RON 95 is as good as RON 97.

look at old town kopitiam, getting espensive and espensive ...

my lou po chai use to minum ron97 minyak .. now go pump ron95 punya minyak .. tak rela

but but .. after i bump ron95 to my 135lc.....
no more pickup power

my myvi can earn around 80km when i pump rom97..
so actually it is same or pay lesser than ron95...when it was rm2.15...

Warisan 100 tower need money muh.

fuel hike > transportation cost hike a lil bit > food price hike 2,3 times hike higher than oil > cost for living 4,5 times hike higher than oil

+11111
and also the 2nd space travel project .....

I pening la, almost everytime petrol price hiked, groceries and others will follow suit...but the transport (lorries etc) use diesel (but diesel price didn't increase that time). still want to increase ka?

Now diesel increased.

GOMEN is killing the us slowly.....

How much has it increased ever since? And how much extra would the fellow rulling government will earn from just a meer 5 cent?

Guys guys....next GE, do your part

Well, how can you not cast your vote, to vote the rulling government out then? Anyway, it is too obvious as our fellow government, Datuk Nazri also says, he reports to the government and not the to the people. With this statement, the people will continue to suffer if the rulling government still stay on.

it looks like you have problem with either math or overview of things. take a mentats.

+2PER, +1INT

Expected fuel price will increase already, last time petrol price suddenly went up till RM2.70 create much more problem than now

yes that is my main argument with my fren just now

they said Ron 95 rise rm0.15?

This is the consequences of believing BN will turn back to good. Devil will always be the devil, it won't turn back to angel no matter what!

Malaysia boleh. Need to source budget for 100 storey building project ma...

RON 95 - 5 cents
Sugar - 20 cents

WTF gomen reduce the tax for branded stuffs in msia and then go increase basic necessity prices.. How are the poor in msia going to survive.. Msia is not easy to get a job with 3k nett income.. How to afford car, house all? Public transport like fark they cant bother to go upgrade.. KTM schedule like granny's period, Rapid KL buses comes every 30mins at best.. LRT stations located far far away from main transport hub and dense residential areas..

Somemore everytime increase in prices like this those Mamak stall going to increase ur milo and teh by 20sen.. CCB they use 1kg sugar to mix my milo meh.. KNN gomen giving tons of excuse to increase this and that.. Say want to improve msian health standards and living quality.. All sohai go do proper research first.. See what is affecting our health, unclean pipe water, polluted air from low quality diesel and petrol, poor emission control on vehicles, poor landscaping causing high heat and lots of dust, poor construction place monitoring, the dust from the construction site, lorry full of mud, clogged drains, just to name 0.00001% of the problem..

Whole gomen all full of uneducated retardic murderous basket who only intend to show the superiority to the world by feeding on the misfortune of the ppl who brought them up.. Time to change gomen.. BN= Barang Naik!!!

Added on December 3, 2010, 10:30 pmFarking gomen want to pride itself in the biggest exporter of palm oil, cant even come out with basic E85 biodiesel for the public transportation.. Malaysia gomen,, wake up lah.. Now ady end of 2010.. Going to go into 2011 ady, sudah 53tahun merdeka... Talk cock sing song so much.. Diesel still at Euro2 standards.. BMW 530i also having better fuel consumption and lower emission than Proton Saga BLM 1.3... BMW 530d has fuel efficiency and emission that can compare to Proton in probably year 2100.. Want to say support Buatan Malaysia, buy Proton, spend more on fuel, die faster from poorer emission controls and lousier minimum safety features.. Can spend so much money buy Lotus lah.. 25% stake in RenaultF1 lah.. Hire Giugiaro to design Emas lah.. For what?? All skin deep only.. See Vios dugong .. Farking ugly car also still super popular due to good FC.. Do we really need Lotus tuned handling and Giugiaro design cars when our roads are ridden with potholes and so many new and poorly trained Malaysian drivers who sucks so big time at driving.

BTW,some of funny reply from HERE...



ramai yg sedih dengar kenaikan 4 barang n... tapi de sebalik cerita sedih tu ada cerita gumbira.......

Najib: Isteri PM layak terima, tuntut elaun


Kerajaan tidak menyediakan peruntukan tetap atau peruntukan kunjungan luar negara tahunan secara khusus kepada isteri Perdana Menteri.

Perdana Menteri, Datuk Seri Najib Razak, berkata isteri Perdana Menteri bagaimanapun layak menerima dan menuntut perbelanjaan tertentu seperti kelayakan elaun makan, penginapan, sara hidup dan pakaian panas.

"Ia termaktub di bawah Akta Ahli Parlimen (Saraan) 1980 (Akta 237) berkenaan elaun-elaun dan keistimewaan bagi Perdana Menteri.

"Akta itu menyatakan isteri Perdana Menteri yang mengiringi semasa lawatan rasmi atau semasa membuat lawatan rasmi secara bersendirian ke luar negara atau dalam negeri adalah layak menerima dan menuntut perbelanjaan seperti kelayakan elaun makan, penginapan, sara hidup dan pakaian panas," katanya.

Beliau berkata demikian dalam jawapan bertulis kepada Liew Chin Tong (DAP-Bukit Bendera) di persidangan Dewan Rakyat, hari ini.

Liew mahu Perdana Menteri menyatakan bilangan kakitangan kontrak dan tetap, peruntukan tetap, peruntukan kunjungan luar negara dan kemudahan lain yang diperuntukkan untuk isteri Perdana Menteri dari 2000 hingga 2010.

Najib berkata tiada kakitangan tetap dan kontrak yang disediakan khusus untuk isteri Perdana Menteri berikutan pegawai dari Pejabat Perdana Menteri dari semasa ke semasa membantu isteri Perdana Menteri dalam menjalankan tugas-tugas rasmi beliau.

Only if you knew how much they claimed..

Let bad karma falls on those whom screwing the country

'1Malaysia,untuk pocket saya....1Malaysia,mati la rakyat bodoh ku~'

Akta Ahli Parlimen (Saraan) 1980 (Akta 237) berkenaan elaun-elaun dan keistimewaan bagi Perdana Menteri.

Dont really know about this act,but before this TV has shown on the budget(I think last year laa...cant remember it correctly) that they privillaged included the free household appliance,free bill & subsidised petrol for work trip,free Merc S class(07-08 model..when the controversial case last year involving Perdana V6 lumpy gearbox that always need to be services,& opposition ADUN that use Camry deemed "unpatriotic" )

Other than that might be what they have stated above...so far that what I know.
Dunno if it was right or not.

But I do hope the real corrupt that using the place as governator to dump all the rakyat money get his payback....

BN lose again coming election..

jibby says 'boycott mamak!' & 'boycott any establishment that raises prices with no good reason'

Honda Insight is beginning to look attractive to buy.

Diesel here i come

what the f***! got money to send another monkey to space, build 100 storey dicks but increase fuel price?

lose your head, this cau fau hai government already preparing the phamton votes ...
