This is another clear case especially to those government-bashing forumers:

Damned if you do (increase the price)
Damned if you don't (increase the price)

Either way also kena criticized.

It’s more like the timing of this subsidy coming in that’s quite suspicious. It’s not like the price of RON95 never hit RM2.30. In fact, as recently as 31 January that the RON95 price was RM2.31 or even in 15 November it was RM2.38 - why no subsidy then? If wanna give subsidy, should be consistent, not play politics with it.

Lazy thinking. The issue isn't so much increase or not increase, but the lack of adherence to what they said is being done. For political advantage.

so wats the forecast this week?
i think its going to be hard to forecast after everyone has been thrown off course by last weeks petrol price decision.

Forecast is listed on page 1, post 1. It’s unchanged with no price for Friday as Singapore had a public holiday (Good Friday).

Yes, it’s indeed hard to forecast, so I listed it with 3 scenarios. Even then, all 3 might be wrong as the subsidy variable is thrown in.

alright then, we will know on Wed i guess.

As of 2nd April data, below is what I personally estimate:

If no sudden subsidy
RON95 ▲ 9 sen to RM2.29
Diesel ▲ 10 sen to RM2.28

If maintain current subsidy
RON95 ▼ 1 sen to RM2.19 (suspected 10 sen subsidy)
Diesel ▲ 1 sen at RM2.19 (suspected 9 sen subsidy)

Or peg at current prices
RON95 ◆ at RM2.20 (with 9 sen subsidy)
Diesel ◆ at RM2.18 (with 10 sen subsidy)

You can view the latest info on page 1. Calculation is here http://goo.gl/cpYiBN

Thanks for your effort
NOw to wait for frog and jasonhan

No update from my side. No clear indications.

Maybe because of the deal between Saudi Aramco and Petronas that was finalized end of March we get competitive oil prices?

updated edy (up 10 sen) but unsure bcoz of subsidy variable.

Confirm no change, PM going to dissolve Parliament next week for GE....

Good times ahead boys

Updated information for this week based on yesterday's MOPS price. https://goo.gl/cpYiBN

If no sudden subsidy
RON95 ▲ 8 sen to RM2.28
Diesel ▲ 9 sen to RM2.27

If maintain current subsidy
RON95 ▼ 2 sen to RM2.18 (suspected 10 sen subsidy)
Diesel ◆ at RM2.18 (suspected 9 sen subsidy)

Or peg at current prices
RON95 ◆ at RM2.20 (estimated 8 sen subsidy)
Diesel ◆ at RM2.18 (estimated 9 sen subsidy)

So let's just wait for the announcement later this evening

-edit- in case any of you are wondering, yes, I'm continuing to track the fuel prices even with the fake news law. The data that I'm using are from proven sources, and not likely to be wrong. If it's wrong, the calculation is out in the open (via the link above), and anyone can view/correct me

The fake news on predicting fuel price is ridiclolous
