Fuel prices in Malaysia have seen quite the change in recent months. In September 2016, RON 95 was priced at RM1.70, with increases of 10 sen and 15 sen imposed in October and November respectively. It was then reduced by 5 sen for December, ending the year at RM1.90.

For the new year, fuel prices have gone up again, as explained in detail by finance ministry strategic communications director Datuk Lokman Noor Adam in an earlier report. This time, though, the increase is a significant one – 20 sen hike for RON 95 and diesel, and 15 sen for RON 97.

For the month of January 2017, RON 95 will be priced at RM2.10 per litre (up 20 sen compared to December 2016), RON 97 at RM2.40 per litre (up 15 sen), diesel at RM2.05 per litre (up 20 sen) and Euro 5 diesel at RM2.15 per litre (up 20 sen).

You can blame the increasing price of crude oil and weak ringgit forex against the US dollar for this latest hike, according to Lokman. Don’t expect fuel subsidies to be reintroduced any time soon either, as that is said to have benefitted the rich more than the poor.

When the gap between Ron 95 n 97 narrow to 10-15 cents, better pump 97 as more effient.

Lk036,

I have been to Forest City 3 times already.

Many were bought by China Nationals in early days because no Malaysian banks were there to provide loans. These China nationals bought by million to ten millions IN CASH.

Since monies for building Forest City originates from China & Cash infusion also comes from China its success or failure won't affect us much. The tens of thousands of these China nationals coming to visit or stay in Iskandar already caused a mini boom for Nusajaya

One more thing about Forest City's Great Success

I was having dinner one evening in Singapore's Raffles Marina. While we talked Forest City suddenly lighted up from across the sea. The Singaporeans mistook Forest City for Marina Square.

I told them maybe some future day we might be retiring in Forest City, who know?

Forest City is a per excellence Value Creation nearest First World Singapore

I SEE it has very bright future

Forest City looks like a Tropical paradise

Haha!

This is the only place in whole of Malaysia where you are greeted with only Chinese Words on arrival.

In Forest City there are only 2 languages

1) CHINESE WORDS IN BOLD LETTERS

2) Then English words below

Malay language? I didn't see any so far
