Domestic Trade, Co-operatives and Consumerism Minister Datuk Seri Hamzah Zainudin also confirmed today that the government will maintain the weekly retail fuel price announcements, national news agency Bernama reported.

He was quoted saying that the weekly announcement "is the best mechanism, because we really price them according to the market prices, there is no other way."

The weekly float system ensures fairness to consumers and businesses in the fuel industry, he was quoted adding in his winding-up speech in the senate today.
