PUTRAJAYA, May 21, 2026 — Malaysians can now easily verify prices of essential goods, fuel rates, supply status, and global crisis developments through a new official government dashboard, following a direct call by Home Affairs Minister Datuk Seri Saifuddin Nasution Ismail.
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Saifuddin urged citizens to bookmark https://pantaukrisis.gov.my, describing it as a transparent tool to counter unverified claims circulating on social media.
“Sometimes when we see various information on social media, we easily become worried and unsure which one is true. So this portal was created so that the people can check accurate and up-to-date information directly,” he said.
The Global Supply Crisis Malaysia Dashboard 2026 provides near real-time data on fuel prices, petroleum trade, commodity trends, economic indicators, and more. It was developed by the Ministry of Economy in collaboration with the Department of Statistics Malaysia (DOSM) to support informed decision-making amid ongoing global uncertainties.
Key Highlights from the Dashboard (as of May 21, 2026):
- Fuel Prices:
- BUDI95 (subsidised): RM1.99 per litre
- RON95 (market): RM4.07 per litre
- RON97: RM4.85 per litre
- Diesel (Peninsular Malaysia, market): RM4.97 per litre
- Diesel (BUDI Madani, subsidised): RM2.15 per litre
- Petroleum Trade (March 2026):
- Exports: RM14.98 billion (+34.2% MoM)
- Imports: RM9.73 billion (+8.3% MoM)
- Trade Balance: +RM5.25 billion surplus
- Global Oil Prices (as of May 18):
- Brent Crude: US$116.73 per barrel
- WTI: US$112.25 per barrel
- USD/MYR: 3.9794 (+0.1%)
The dashboard includes sections on consumer prices, commodity prices, GDP performance, currency exchange, trade flows, and a world map for broader context. It aims to enable early detection of supply pressures and promote supply stability.
This initiative forms part of the MADANI administration’s efforts to enhance transparency and empower citizens with verified data during economic challenges. The public can access various modules including Fuel Prices, Consumer Price Index, and News Feed directly on the site.
Officials encourage users to provide feedback to improve the portal, which draws data from official sources such as DOSM, data.gov.my, and the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA).
