Malaysian government has been subsidising retail price of petrol for a long time. The recent decline in crude oil may turn the scenerio. According to the star dated 15 nov 2014, the current retail price of RM2.30/liter is equivalent to crude oil price of USD85./barrel. Yesterday the price of crude fell to USD 78/barrel. This price is substantially below USD85. By right, the retail price should be less than RM2/liter. Keeping the present retail price means we are now subsidising the government. Is that what the government want?
