"If required, we will subsidise (to keep the fuel prices remain at current rate," he told reporters at the Perdana Leadership Foundation, here , today.
For the past seven weeks, the price of RON95 remained at at RM2.20 per liter; RON97 at RM2.47 per liter; Diesel at RM2.18 per-litre and Euro 5 Diesel at RM2.28 per litre.
The previous government had set the prices of petrol and diesel on a weekly basis since March last year.
Dr Mahathir also raised the need to ensure those in custody to be treated well without being tortured while being questioned.
"They must be treated decently. No more questioning them at 3am or 4am. This is not the police's practice, but we have heard stories."
On reports of death while in custody, Dr Mahathir said an inquest must be held to find out what led to the death.
