BUKIT MERTAJAM: Malaysia will continue to hold the RON95 petrol price at RM1.99 per litre despite surging global oil prices, with supply expected to last until May, says Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim. Speaking on the eve of Hari Raya Aidilfitri, Anwar also urged Malaysians to be prudent ahead of the festive season and called for moderation in spending and greater support for those in need. Anwar also stressed the importance of unity and stability at home, warning that even small disputes could escalate if not addressed quickly. “We have seen in other countries how small conflicts can destroy a nation, the economy collapses, people lose jobs and lives are lost. Earlier, Anwar joined some 200 locals in the community and performed prayers at Masjid Jamek As-Syakirin in Kampung Pelet before visiting several villagers in the area ahead of Hari Raya.
