Malaysia's headline consumer price index (CPI) rose 1.8% year over year in September, according to data from the Department of Statistics Malaysia on Monday.
The reading is lower than a 1.9% expansion recorded in the previous month.
The headline movement was driven by the housing, water, electricity, gas and other fuels group, which eased growth to 1.4% as compared to 2.1% in August.
Core inflation, which excludes volatile items, remained unchanged from the previous month at 1.7%.
On a month-over-month basis, Malaysia's headline CPI eased to 0.1%, compared with a 0.3% increase in the previous month.
