History of Petrol in Malaysia

The history of petrol in Malaysia can be traced back to the early 20th century. Here is a brief overview of the evolution of petrol in Malaysia: -

1. Early Period (Early 20th Century): The initial use of petrol in Malaysia dates back to the early 20th century when automobiles were considered a luxury, primarily owned by the affluent. Car usage was concentrated in urban areas, while rural regions still relied on traditional modes of transportation such as horse-drawn carriages and bicycles.
2. Development of the Oil Industry: The Malaysian oil industry experienced rapid growth in the mid-20th century. Petroleum exploration activities in the 1950s led to significant oil discoveries, driving the development of Malaysia's petroleum industry and creating opportunities for petrol production and consumption.
3. Establishment of the National Oil Company: Malaysia's national oil company, Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas), was founded in 1974. The establishment of Petronas marked the nationalization of oil resources in Malaysia, allowing the country better management and control over its petroleum resources. This laid a more stable foundation for domestic petrol supply and demand.
4. Petrol Price Controls: Malaysia implemented petrol price controls, with the government adjusting petrol prices to maintain a relatively stable level. This control aimed to shield residents from the impact of international oil price fluctuations and ensure that the economic impact of petrol prices remained manageable.
5. Rise in Petrol Consumption: As Malaysia's economy developed, the rise of the middle class and the widespread adoption of automobiles led to a gradual increase in petrol consumption. Urbanization and industrialization accelerated, resulting in a growing demand for petrol.
6. Focus on Environmental Sustainability and Renewable Energy: With global attention turning towards environmental concerns, Malaysia began prioritizing renewable energy and environmental technologies. Initiatives included promoting the development of electric vehicle technology and reducing dependence on traditional petroleum energy sources.
