* **Rising Fuel Prices:** Recent instability in global oil markets caused by geopolitical conflict has led to sharp increases in diesel and petrol costs in Malaysia, with diesel reaching RM6.02 per litre.

    * **EV (Home Charging):** RM7.65
    * **Petrol (Subsidised RON95):** RM15.30
    * **EV (Public Charger):** RM15.00
