Petrol to be reduced by 10 sen to RM2.45 per litre.
Diesel to be reduced by 10 sen to RM2.40 per litre.

Barely a month back, during the mother of all by-election in Permatang Pauh,
Petrol was reduced by 15 sen to RM 2.55 per litre.
Diesel was reduce by 8 sen to RM 2.50 per litre.
PM Abdullah Ahmad Badawi also states that “although the world oil price had dropped slightly, the value of the ringgit against the United States (US) dollar had also weakened resulting in the 10 sen reduction being the maximum that the government could give.”
The government hopes the price reduction would ease the burden of the people, especially in celebrating the Aidilfitri.
A better way to ease the burden of the people is to stop all the rampant corruption and free the detainees now locked up in ISA. Also, listening to what the People is trying to tell you would be very important.
A 10 sen reduction is seriously not a very attractive diversion.
