The fuel prices returned to being determined weekly after June 14.
“The increase in oil prices is believed to be caused by the attacks on two oil facilities in Saudi Arabia on Sept 14, affecting the production and exports of oil from the country,” the Finance Ministry said in a statement today.
It further stated that the government would have to spend RM123.16 million to subsidise the fuel prices.
