Those belonging to the ‘high-income group’ will have to pay the full market price for RON 95 petrol – RM2.58 per litre at current prices. However, individuals classified under the ‘low-income group’ will continue to fill their tanks at the current subsidised rate of RM2.30 per litre. This dual-pricing will start in June 2015.

Deputy Finance Minister Datuk Ahmad Maslan Said That Malaysians Who Are In The Middle Income Or Low Income Bracket Will Continue To Enjoy The Subsidised Rate, Which Is At RM2.30 Per Litre For RON95

He meant to draw comparison between the tank size of a big SUV/luxury sedan with a motorcycle, but did not elaborate what constitutes high-income, low-income or middle class.
paultan.orgHe said those in the low and middle income groups would continue to enjoy RON95 at subsidised prices. “This system is more fair, as only those qualified will receive the subsidy,” he said, adding that a similar system would be implemented for diesel consumers starting January next year via the fleet card. At present the price of RON95 is RM2.30 per litre.
