Dikatakan pada 1 Mei ini, dua harga berbeza bagi minyak petrol akan diumumkan, tetapi belum sempat ke tarikh tersebut, akan keluar satu pengumuman yang mengatakan harga minyak di Malaysia akan naik pada Mac 2010 ini.Adakah kerajaan ada bertanya golongan berpendapatan rendah tentang hasrat kerajaan untuk menaikkan harga petrol selepas ini?
Golongan manakah yang bersetuju dengan tindakan kerajaan ini?
Kalau negara Congo yang kering minyak, sangat munasabah jika harga minyak di sana mesti mengikut harga minyak dunia. Suka atau tidak. Itulah realitinya. Bagaimana pula dengan Malaysia? Negara yang basah dengan hasil kekayaan minyak, teruk sangatkah terkesannya?
Mungkinkah kerajaan Malaysia sudah kekurangan dana sekarang ini?
Apabila berlaku kenaikan, Kerajaan pasti akan memberikan alasan kononnya untuk menampung subsidi. Pelik bin ajaib……Sepatutnya setiap satu dollar yang naik bagi harga setong minyak dunia, Malaysia akan mampu mendapat pulangan ratusan juta ringgit. Ini, terbalik pula, kerajaan rasa tertekan dengan kenaikan harga minyak dunia.
[The Sun] KUALA LUMPUR : The government is expected to announce a price increase of 10sen a litre for RON95 petrol and diesel when the new fuel price mechanism is revealed in mid-March. The price of RON97 will also be increased but there is no decision yet on the quantum.
RON95 is currently retailed at RM1.80 a litre, RON97 and diesel at RM2.05 and RM1.70 a litre respectively.
Finance Ministry sources said the government has decided to raise fuel prices as it cannot provide more subsidy needed to maintain fuel prices at current levels following a spike in global crude oil prices.
The government believes an increase of 10sen a litre is acceptable to the public.
The sources also told the daily the government has yet to come up with a fuel price mechanism that is acceptable to all quarters, and as a result it may put off or may even be forced to abandon some new measures that are already in the pipeline.
“Plans were afoot for the registration of vehicle owners and their MyKad through Maybank and petrol kiosks to begin in April under the proposed ‘one vehicle owner, one subsidy’ fuel subsidy mechanism. It looks like the plan may not take off.”
The sources said the cap on selling 20 litres of petrol to foreign cars near Malaysian borders will continue to be implemented.
Meanwhile, Petrol Dealers Association of Malaysia president Datuk Hashim Othman believes that foreign car owners will pay the market price when the new fuel price mechanism is introduced next month.
He said the government’s main intention is to provide subsidy to those who qualify for it, to protect the interest of the lower and middle-income groups as well as save on expenditures.
