Pump prices in Singapore have dropped for as low as S$0.05 per litre following a week after the crude oil crashed to record lows.
According to Fuel Kaki, the price of 95-octane petrol, which is the most popular grade in the country, fell to S$2.04 from the previous price of S$2.09 at petrol stations Esso, Shell, SPC, and Sinopec. As for Caltex, it is selling at S$2.06 litre.
The downward revision of prices was made on Wednesday (29 April) for all brands expect Sinopec, which only adjusted its prices earlier this morning (30 April).
At Esso and SPC, the price of the 92-octane grade is currently S$2 whereas the price at Caltex is S$2.02.
Shell and Sinopec both do not sell 92-octane petrol. Sinopec is said to obtain its supplies from Shell.
At the other end of the price continuum, the 98-octane petrol is sold at the cheapest price at SPC at S$2.38 per litre. The next cheapest brands are Esso and Sinopec at S$2.41, followed by Shell at S$2.43.
Meanwhile, at Caltex, the price of 98-octane is retailing at S$2.53 per litre, as the company brands itself a rival to Shell’s V-power.
As for the special grades fuel sold by Shell (V-Power) and Sinopec (Sino X Power), both are retailing at S$2.65 and S$2.55 per litre, respectively.
The price of diesel is the cheapest at SPC at S$1.64 per litre. The second cheapest are Esso and Sinopec at S$1.67 each, followed by Shell at S$1.68. Diesel sold by Caltex is the most expensive at S$1.69 per litre.

All stated prices are pre-discounted prices.
As for Malaysia, only diesel prices have been adjusted downwards from RM1.43 per litre to RM1.40 per litre effective from 25 April to 1 May. The prices of RON95 and RON97 are unchanged at RM1.25 and RM1.55, respectively.
“The price for RON95 and diesel have remained unchanged over the past year as the government had implemented the Automated Pricing Mechanism, but significant changes in the global fuel price over the week have compelled the government to reintroduce weekly fuel pricing for RON95 and diesel as well,” as stated by RinggitPlus.

The point of note is that while the petrol prices dropped for Singapore, the same cannot be said for Malaysia. This is despite a week has passed following the global oil price crash.
Although this week has seen oil prices rebound, so much so that traders are making bets in this period, analysts have cautioned that this rebound is only temporary as the global storage capacity of oil reaches its limits.
And true enough, on Monday (27 April), oil prices dropped 25 per cent, driven by the limited storage capacity as well as the crippled demand for oil due to COVID-19.

心脏衰竭无力工作 男子欲申请公积金维生被拒

拿不起超过五公斤的物品,外出四小时就会感到身体疲累,站了15分钟就会开始头晕。患有心脏衰竭,右心房只剩下37巴仙功能的五旬男子,感叹工作难找之余,更令人心寒的是,当他向中央公积金局申请领取公积金以支持日后的开销时,当局却以他不符合资格为由,拒绝其申请。 事件主人公,56岁的沈佳泉只有小六毕业程度,之前曾工作一段时间,也有3000新元收入,但是在2011年开始,他的身体健康状况出现了问题。 公积金局指条件不符合 根据《新明日报》报导,事主目前身体无力工作,只能靠着妻子养家糊口,还要妻子给零用钱,实在觉得不忍心,因此才想领出公积金,期望能减轻家中的负担。 只是,公积金却表示沈佳泉的情况“并不符合提款条件”,因此拒绝了他的申请,令后者感到求助无门,不能理解为什么他拥有的钱财却不能在需要时使用。 手术后无力维持长时间工作 他指出,在2011年,他开始翻覆发烧,有时体温甚至烧到40度,康复后就开始发现身体容易感到疲惫,走路或久站都会气喘吁吁。 他那时还不以为意,一直到一次在太太陪同下要过天桥去找中医检查时,在过天桥途中就差点因为喘不过气而昏厥,才惊觉身体状况应该出问题了。 当时中医就有建议沈佳泉去看西医,但他并不在意,一直到他有一次差点喘不过气来被紧急送院后,才发现心脏有问题。 他指出,当时医生指他的心脏出现衰竭现象,且不能提重物,否则心脏会痛。医生也劝他进行手术,以提升原本只剩下27巴仙功能的心脏到32巴仙。 经过手术,虽然心脏功能提升到了37巴仙,但他体力已不如前,而3000多元的工作因为三四个月就要去医院一次,以及身体的状况,就已经无法工作了。 他在手术的两年后,重新开始工作,也尝试了开私召车等兼职工作,但是因为心脏问题,也无法赚取过多收入。…
